Help Ian McDougall of Riverboat Gamblers

OCTOBER 29TH 2009 | HELP IAN MCDOUGALL OF RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS | AUSTIN, TX

Below is a letter from the band Riverboat Gamblers.

Hello all,

It’s definitely been a trying few days. On the night of Saturday October 17th, while riding his bike home, a car hit Ian McDougall, guitarist of our band Riverboat Gamblers. He sustained some pretty heavy injuries including a broken hip, a broken wrist and hemmoraging under the skull along with many lacerations, torn ligaments, bruises and and scrapes.

He was rushed by ambulance to Brackenridge hospital in Austin and stayed in the ICU for 2 days before being moved into his own room where he is undergoing physical therapy while awaiting the results on X-rays and MRIs as well as a deluge of other various tests.

That being said, the prognosis is better than we had first thought. We are happy that he is going to be ok and that he is alive and with us. Unfortunately, not only is he in for a long recovery and is in a lot of pain, but he will be celebrating his birthday in bed with hospital food.

On another unfortunate note, there are a pile of bills currently gaining a Mt. Everest-like summit from all his hospital expenses. We set up a PayPal account for our band mate and friend to try and help him get on top of the debt and focus on his recovery. His PayPal account email is ian.gambler@gmail.com. Anything you can afford to give will be greatly appreciated by Ian and his family. Thank you all for your support and we wish Ian the speediest of recoveries.

Electric’s Rock The Shop At Volcom Santa Barbara

Crowd rocking out to Valient Thorr at Volcom Santa Barbara

OCTOBER 25TH 2009 | ROCK THE SHOP | SANTA BARBARA, CA

Electric’s first Rock The Shop event to hit the U.S. went down today at the Volcom Retail Store in Santa Barbara, CA. This event was to celebrate the launch of our new apparel and accessories line in all the Volcom Retail Stores.

We couldn’t have a proper Rock The Shop without a live band to get the first ever in-store mosh pit going and that’s exactly what Valient Thorr did. This was the first time Valient Thorr has ever played at a Volcom store and I don’t think it will be the last.

Shortly after they started playing the crowd surfing began, guitarists were jumping off amps, and some serious fist pumping and head slamming was going on in the front row. Everyone who came out not only left stoked on the best live performance they’ve ever seen but also on Electric’s new apparel line and their new custom screened trucker hat made right there in the store for them as well as a few extra goodies that were thrown out.

Big thanks to Valient Thorr for an amazing performance, Volcom Santa Barbara for letting us Rock their Shop and to everyone who came out to support. Stay tuned for the next Rock The Shop to come to a store near you!!
