This past Friday, DMBQ's tour van rolled over in an accident on I-95. Mana “China” Nishiura did not survive the crash, and the group's tour manager Michelle Cable (also of Panache Magazine ) was severely injured and is now conscious after undergoing surgery for a head injury. The other band members have been hospitalized and are expected to fully recover.

If you would like to send your thoughts or make a charitable donation toward Cable and DMBQ's recovery, please email dmbqpanache@lovepumpunited.com.

If I get further updates on the recuperation process, I'll post them to The Turntable.
