Devildriver Apologizes For Missing Ozzfest Show

posted Aug 1, 2004 at 12:14 AM by darkstar.  (4 Comments)

Devildriver issued an update on their website regarding missing their July 29 Ozzfest appearance.

Apologies to all of you expecting to see DevilDriver at today's Ozzfest at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA - The band's bus broke down somewhere in Oregon about 24 hours ago, and is still un-operable. There were wrecking crews out there all night, but no luck. The band tried plane (no go), a 15 passenger van (no go), even a train (that is actually a lie) to make today's show. No luck. This will mark the first time in five Ozzfests that Dez has ever missed a show. Fate has closed its claw.

The band is currently holed up at a Motel 6 somewhere in Oregon, and hope to be back on the road and playing come tomorrow. Again, apologies to those at Ozzfest today. Complaints can be routed to 701.361.912

Devildriver missed their Off-fest show with Lacuna Coil and Superjoint Ritual in Phoenix last night too. It was still a really good show though.
