The bass player for Australian band San Cisco, Nick Gardner, will miss the band’s upcoming tour of the USA and Mexico after he accidentally shot himself in the foot .
At the time, Nick was helping out on a friend’s farm in Western Australia and says the gun went off when the he tried to reach down to stop it bouncing around while they were driving through a rough paddock.
Nick says that the bolt “slid down” and that the “jolting” must have triggered the gun.
After seeing a hole in his foot and blood everywhere, Nick’s friend bandaged it up and drove to the nearest hospital, which was 100kms away!
Although Nick passed out from the shock, he came to as he was being treated by doctors. San Cisco are touring their album Gracetown, which is out tomorrow!
San Cisco have been making waves for some time now, with the earworm ‘Awkward’ (perhaps somewhat appropriate in this instance) a particular favourite (link below).
Wishing Nick a speedy recovery!
