Finally, earlier this week Scotty shared a fantastic live performance from Brooklyn indie-rockers Dirty Projectors. Today, we have some unfortunate news to share as the band was involved in an accident with their van earlier this week when it flipped over traveling from Michigan to Toronto. According to a blog post on their MySpace page no one was seriously injured in the crash, but it did force the band to cancel of a couple of their Canadian tour stops. We wish the band a speedy recovery and a quick return to the stage.
