The Lashes' guitarist, Eric Howk was injured Saturday night after falling into an unsecured hole in a friend's neighbor's yard. Initial reports indicated he fell from a roof but Ben Clark, lead vocalist for the band, set the record straight so no one mistakes his accident for "drunken horseplay or bad judgment." He suffered broken bones and injured his back.
The Lashes were scheduled to play the Old Firehouse in Redmond, WA on Friday night with Ms. Led and The Snakebites, however, U.S.E. have stepped in to fill the void, donating their earnings from the night to Howk's medical bills. As is the case with many musicians, Howk does not have health insurance.
If you're in the Seattle area, look for many benefit shows to ease his financial burden. Go to them all. Put money in the till. Feel good. And hope Eric feels good again soon.
Thanks to Matt Brown at NadaMucho for letting us know about this.
