Assembly Now's van blown off the motorway in high winds

Indie boys Assembly Now had a lucky escape when their van swerved off the road during those rather windy conditions last week. Word has it that the band were traveling on the M40 heading to a Manchester gig when a sudden gust of wind blew their van off the road and into the crash barrier. Fortunately all concerned were unharmed, although the incident was not without trauma - Gigwise quote drummer Lush thus: "Our Van got knocked sideways off the hard shoulder and slid across the crash barrier. Unfortunately we were playing scrabble at the time and all the pieces knocked onto the floor".
