BENEFIT FOR THE PRIDS at The Know! with We’re From Japan, Reverse Dotty and Bumtech

On July 20th, Portland band The Prids - David, Mistina, Joey and Maile - and two of their significant others - were in a serious accident while en route to Los Angeles on tour. A tire blew and they lost control of the van and it rolled several times. Details of the crash are quoted heavily below, but the important thing is that no one died (and given the circumstances that seems particularly miraculous).

"6 people, EMERGENCY ROOM. One air flight to the hospital. Totaled van with 3 thousand dollars owed on it, towed to an impound. Medical care in a situation such as this is going to total for all 6 pushing over thousands of dollars. THINK: x rays, cat scans, MRI, blood draws, fracture care, hospital stays, life flight, ambulance, etc. The only two with insurance is Maile and Kristen, and we already know insurance doesn’t cover 100 percent of bills. It is unknown how much of their gear, if any, is salvageable. Highway patrol kept calling hospital, because they had never seen an accident so bad with all people to survive!"

On Saturday Aug 16th there will be a benefit show to help out The Prids at The Know - 2026 NE Alberta.. starting at 8pm, featuring We’re From Japan, Reverse Dotty, and Bumtech
The cover is $5, all proceeds will go to the band. (21+)
