Pela’s Tour Cancelled - Billy McCarthy has a great fall.

I just saw that Billy McCarthy of Pela fell off the stage during a performance in Chicago. The show slated for tomorrow night (Mar 4th) at the High Dive has been canceled as well as the rest of the tour due to some severe damage to Billy’s hand. Belows is a video tour-blog from the hospital.

I hope my accidental exclusion of Pela from the Recommended March Shows didn’t somehow cosmically induce this. An excerpt fro Pela’s site continued after the break

KEXP BBQ Wrapup

Fun!
>>>> Photos here <<<<

• I missed the Cave Singers and the Blakes, damnit
• Pela rocked the fucking house
• Pela’s members are extremely nice guys, eager to talk to fans and autograph shit
• I bought their CD approximately 18 seconds after they finished their set
• John Richards is funny
• Blue Scholars sounded great. They’re a solid band any way you slice it.
• It was great to be outdoors, and the weather was plesant, if a touch damp
• Everyone was having a great time. It was a joy to be there.
• Supporting KEXP gives me the warm fuzzies
• Cloud Cult wrapped up the night. Perfect choice here.
• Cloud Cult was also very fucking good, thanks
• There were some artists doing live art as Cloud Cult played. Cool idea.
• I’m not on Happy Pills, it really was a great time
