News : Contrive update – Band member injured

By on January 30, 2009

Bassist Tim Stahlmann from Melbourne’s CONTRIVE has been injured in a motor accident whilst holidaying in Koh Samui, Thailand. The band were due to hit the stages of Bangkok next week for their first tour of Asia including a support with PARKWAY DRIVE, however hospital X-rays have confirmed that Tim has broken his collarbone, forcing him to pull out of the tour.

The Haug brothers of CONTRIVE have managed to quickly secure the bass duties of Greg Shaw from Adelaide’s TRUTH CORRODED who coincidentally has just finished a recent Tour of Asia that included shows in Bangkok.

Greg will also be playing a warm up show with the band on Wednesday Feb. 4th @ The Arthouse Hotel in Melbourne before they jet off. The Haug brothers have left this message via the band’s YouTube page for Thai fans leading up to their Living Unseen Tour 2009 kicking off next Friday Feb 6th.
