We are sad to report tragedy has struck DMBQ. According to Todd P,
"DMBQ’s van rolled from I-95 in Delaware en route from Baltimore to
Brooklyn on Friday afternoon. All members of the band have been
hospitalized, as well as Michelle Cable from Panache Magazine and
booking, who has been managing their tour.
Mana "China" Nishiura did not survive the accident. China was DMBQ's
drummer, as well as a former drummer in Shonen Knife. China will be
missed.
Michelle Cable is conscious following surgery for a head injury. Shinji
Masuko is still in the hospital but is expected to be released soon.
Toru Matsui and Ryuichi Watanabe have been released from the hospital."
