Official press release:

The members of Japanese rock band FACT were involved in a serious van accident yesterday afternoon. The band had played a show in Montgomery, AL the night before and was headed to their next gig in Altoona, PA, when another vehicle crossed the median on Interstate 85 just outside of Atlanta, striking the band's van and causing the two vehicles to collide head on. The van flipped over on its side.

Everyone survived, but singer Hiro sustained a concussion and drummer Eiji remains hospitalized with a broken arm. Tour manager John Kim was originally thought to have suffered internal injuries but turned out to be ok and was released from the hospital. The other band members suffered minor injuries.

Due to Eiji's arm injuries, FACT will be forced to cancel the remaining dates on their North American run and will return to Japan to recuperate. There were two U.S. shows left and a string of Canadian dates that will be rescheduled at a later date.

FACT's Vagrant Records/Maximum 10 Records debut was released yesterday.

Its funny that even if a band isn't metal at all they can earn a spot on Lambgoat's front page by simply flipping/wrecking their van.

Montgomery to Altoona is stupid. Whoever booked that should be fired. Glad they're okay though.

"The van flipped over on its side" Of course it did.

hxcobd	4/16/2009 12:15:21 AM

Humorous, but I love this band. New album is good, but nowhere near as great as their last album.
