Dean Spunt, drummer/singer of KLYAM favorite band No Age, was recently socked in the face by club bouncers in Portugal. This according to Randy Randall, the other member of No Age. Two close friends of the band were also involved in this random act of violence. Dean is one of the nicest musicians I’ve gotten to meet. I can’t imagine anyone causing harm to such a great guy. From the looks of the pictures, it seems like his eyebrow got messed up pretty bad. No Age’s publicist said he is fine and of course we are all glad to hear that.
Head over to the No Age blog to see pictures.
He fucked his right middle finger up good while slicing veggies:

Hey Randy is okay. He dislocated his shoulder and was in extreme pain for an hour or so. We are on our way to Lollapalooza, we are going to still try and play if we can. Thanks to everyone
All of us at KLYAM are glad that guitar legend is okay.
Here is footage of Randy’s fall (around the 2:50 mark) caused by a beer spill.
