Interview: Band of the Week - The Dollyrots - Page 3

How has your tour been going?

It has been fantastic. The first night, I broke Chris' (Black, drums) nose.

(Laughing) How did you do that?

Well it was an accident. When it's a really good show, or a really crappy show, or sometimes just for fun, I like to jump into the drum kit or we jump off the drum kit or off of the stage. It just feels like a good time when you have a nice jumping ending to the set. And I jumped over the drum kit and I accidentally hit the wall with my head. Then I was still wearing my bass guitar and I let go of the bass to check my head because I thought it was bleeding, and as I let go of the bass I dropped it on Chris' face.

He said he felt like two crunches on his face and then all of the sudden he was like “Broken, broken! My nose is broken. My nose is broken!” I looked down and he was just pouring blood out of his nose. So we had that happen. Then a few weeks later we were in Columbus, Ohio, and I'm walking around on the ice and everything was fine and dandy, everything was cool. I was actually wearing snow boots but I didn't have them tied up. I went to get in the van, and I fell, like old-lady style, under the van. I sprained my ankle really, really badly. Then I got zombie foot. It literately looks like a zombie's foot. Right now it's yellow, purple, grey, and black and not very cool cause it hurts a little too. And I've had a cold the whole tour too.
