ENTWINE - Tour Bus Fire Update; Photo Available
April 18, 2009, 15 years ago
As previously reported, ENTWINE's tour bus caught fire after the band's gig yesterday in Ähtäri, Finland.
Vocalist Mika Tauriainen has issued the following update:
"I woke up in the morning as the driver rushed into the room telling us the bus was on fire and we needed to go and carry out the equipment. I though that only the curtains would be on fire. I opened the inn door and the bus was in full blaze. I realized I couldn’t do a thing. There we waited for the fire department and watched the bus burn.All the equipment burned down with the bus. We found a couple of drum sticks in one piece. But money doesn’t matter. What is important is that the bus driver was saved.
All our background music was on the hard drive that burned. So, the Leppävirta gig will be an undressed version. At least we were able to arrange loan equipment. I hope that people will understand the situation."
Here's the bus having a bad day at the office (view picture on the left)."
