Against Me! Involved in Bus Accident
Against Me! was involved in a bus while traveling between dates in Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah last night. Tom Gabel discussed yesterday's bus accident on his blog: “Everyone was asleep when it happened. I didn't want to wake up. Moments before I was sleeping so deeply. I was annoyed. I woke to the sound of my friends screaming, various expletives, inarticulate gasps, the sensation of spinning, and the sound of crashing inside and outside the bus. My eyes opened to blackness. I immediately pressed my hands and feet into the roof of my bunk as hard as I could, bracing for what I did not know.”
The band is currently touring with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists and Future of the Left. The show in Salt Lake City was cancelled but there is no word yet on if further tour dates will be postponed.

Other news
Against Me! drummer Warren Oakes recently spoke to Billboard about their plans for the rest of the year. According to Warren:
“I know Tom [Gabel] has been writing this whole time. We'll probably take a little holiday break, then just get together and start collaborating and start fleshing those songs out and work on writing for most of the early part of next year. We'll probably do some shows some time in the spring, perhaps; to road test some of those new songs.
We'll get in the studio when the time is right, when we have a batch of songs that are ready to go. The biggest pressure that's ever been put on this band has come internally, every step of the way. So we're just gonna take the time to get it right.”
