Heavy Heart

It is with a heavy heart that I would like to inform all of my dear friends on this wonderful forum that our much loved drummer Jono from Tamla Kahn was involved in a devastating car accident last Friday. One of his friends died on the scene and the other is in ICU with severe head injuries. Jono is also in ICU with head and neck injuries and severe lung damage. Both are under sedation. On Monday we learned that the Tamla Kahn band is one of the contenders for 'The battle for Wacken - South Africa'. This was bittersweet news as you can imagine. We have a fill-in drummer who is keen to help us out until Jono is ready to take the seat again. We feel that we should keep the band on course for the Wacken Battle, and we really believe that Jono would have wanted that. It has been a dark and emotional time for all of us, not to mention the families involved. And we are all hoping for the best. Keep him in your prayers. Thanks guys and girls.

Jono, our drummer is still in ICU 21 days after the accident. There has been a slight improvement. The docs are trying to determine whether he has incurred brain damage. We're holding thumbs. Just thought I'd let you know. Peace.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. We are forging on with a replacement. Jono would want it, keep the fires burning till he is well enough to return. First full practice with Ruhan at the kit today.
We will also have a song on A South African Metal compilation cd to be released shortly.
Have a great weekend.
