Killer Dwarfs recovering after car smash

Canadian rock outfit Killer Dwarfs report they’re on the mend after being involved in a serious car crash after a festival appearance.

Singer Russ Graham was airlifted to hospital with head injuries on Monday when the band’s two vehicles were involved in a collision which closed US Interstate 70 in Indiana for over an hour.

Guitarist Gerry Finn, bassist Johnny Fenton and drummer Darrell Millar escaped with minor injuries. Graham has now been released from hospital.

A Dwarfs spokesman says: “We are working on getting the band and their gear home safe to Canada, to reunite them with their friends and families. As of now there are no show cancellations.”

Their next engagement at at the Hard Rock Cafe in Toronto on June 7.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
