Greg Puciato is currently on his first-ever solo tour of North America, and a date in Denver, CO, has assuredly made it one to remember after a drunk driver collided with his gear trailer outside the venue.
Sharing shots of the damage on Instagram, the ex-Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist recalled how after playing their "best show of tour by FAR," he and his bandmates' trailer was "smacked by a drunk driver at 50mph, who hit it hard enough to flip the fuck over in the middle of the street."
Ironically, the person behind the wheel apparently had tickets to Puciato's show at Denver's Marquis Theatre that evening.
No one was injured in the collision, but Puciato writes, "You know what's crazy? We were three hours late to load-in today. Which at the time seemed like a drag. But….if we would've been on time? One, or more, of us, would've been out there loading the trailer. And we might've been bowling-pinned into outer space or crushed to death by the driver dude, who was, ironically, at the show. Life is peculiar. And you don't know why shit happens. Is it all a trial? Who knows. I think so."
Puciato is adamant that he and his band "WILL find a way to NOT miss the next show" in Minneapolis tomorrow night (May 12), and took time to thank their Denver audience: "You fucking rule. Absolutely awesome. Can't wait to come back. Few cities on earth are as reliably awesome. We'll deal with this, and come out the other side stronger. This existence is a test. Checks and balances. Best show of tour? Ready to celebrate? Nah your trailer is about to get blasted by a drunk driver. What the fuck ever. Can't stop won't stop. I'm glad the driver and his passenger are both still alive. Call Uber next time, hoss."
With a Vancouver show already in the rearview, Puciato's solo tour will pull through Toronto and Montreal later this month. Find his complete itinerary here.
Puciato continued to expand his slate of musical projects — which also includes Killer Be Killed and the Black Queen — with recent news that he's fronting Better Lovers, a new band with former members of Every Time I Die.
With that group, Puciato heads out on a summer North American tour this July and August supporting Underoath and the Ghost Inside.
