The bassist with Jeepster signings SixNationState, John Maskell, suffered a rather grim injury at a gig on Tuesday. In fact I'm feeling rather dizzy just writing about it. I am very squeamish remember. Maskell, for reasons best known to himself, likes to play his live shows barefoot. Which is fine, except when he went crowd surfing at his band's gig at The Borderline this week. On his way back to the stage he trod on a wine glass, causing a 7 inch laceration to his left foot and severing two tendons. Very much in the moment he didn't seem to notice and carried on performing, but a nurse in the audience got rather concerned, got up on stage and requested an ambulance be called. He was whisked to St Thomas' hospital where he underwent surgery to fix his foot. He's now been told to rest for ten days, meaning he won't be able to make his band's upcoming tour dates. Meanwhile, I'm going to buy him some sturdy shoes. I like my indie rock without the blood. Even when it's Doherty's blood and he claims it's art.
