Rufio in accident

Posted by aubin on Monday, June 14, 2010 at 9:00 PM (EDT)

The members of Rufio and their crew were in a nasty RV crash. According to their email report, a driver in a separate vehicle fell asleep at the wheel and sideswiped their RV while traveling at night in Nevada. Their RV was cut in two. The members of Rufio suffered bruises and cuts, but everyone has been able to leave the hospital. One of their crew is still hospitalized with damaged spleen, more detail on which is not yet available. The driver of the causing vehicle is on life support. They are going to take a few weeks to recover from injuries.

Rufio has been forced to cancel a couple dates this week in Pocatello, ID and Anaheim, CA, however they still plan to perform June 29th at the Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA with Taking Back Sunday and on their U.S./Canada tour with Strung Out.

alpod4 (June 14, 2010)

But srsly. i am so excited to see them with taking back sunday.

Cos (June 14, 2010)

Just remember... 16 will get you 20.

alpod4 (June 14, 2010)

wait, what? i read this as a 16 year old will get me 20 years in prison?

4th_Wayvor (June 14, 2010)

i assume that's what is meant. as in, only adolescent, mentally challenged girls, are stoked for that show, and will be there.

noah (June 15, 2010)

Teenagers don't listen to Rufio

gutless (June 15, 2010)

i didnt find the joke that cryptic.

allfornot (June 14, 2010)

I think it's somewhat inappropriate that I have been given the option to "like" that several people were injured in a car wreck.

dlangl4 (June 14, 2010)

they should have another option that says RIP :(

Dante3000 (rich) (June 14, 2010)

If someone wants to be the guy who "likes" when people dies and ends up in an accident, I'll let them explain that on facebook. People make the comments regardless.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 15, 2010)

Clearly I wouldn't "like" grammar, given the option.

MN_DrNick (June 14, 2010)

Well at least they're fine.

imageryandsound (June 14, 2010)

bummer! good luck dudes

exitenglish1208 (June 14, 2010)

that sucks...hope they're all okay

punkinohio (June 14, 2010)

I wonder if they were boo'd off the road like they were boo'd off the stage last time I saw them open for Strung Out.

2kings (June 14, 2010)

lol ouch

notfeelingcreative (June 14, 2010)

I feel really guilty about laughing hysterically at that.

dlangl4 (June 14, 2010)

same, except i dont feel guilty

chrisbowman (June 15, 2010)

Dude, you're a fucking asshole. Just cause you don't like their band and you're all high and mighty sitting behind your laptop in your mom's basement in your boxer shorts doesn't mean you can talk shit on people almost dying.

regreteverything (June 15, 2010)

Last time I checked "bruises and cuts" don't count as "almost dying".

chrisbowman (June 15, 2010)

Last time I checked, you're still a cunt.

regreteverything (June 15, 2010)

Ow... My pride...

chrisbowman (June 15, 2010)

I saw that Refused is one of your favorite bands... Nevermind, you're not a cunt.

regreteverything (June 15, 2010)

No no, you had it right the first time.

preston (June 14, 2010)

It's at this point, the editors question if putting a Facebook "Like" link was a good idea.

facetofacereunion08 (June 14, 2010)

you're graceful, your grace falls

regreteverything (June 14, 2010)

The worst part of this story? That Strung Out felt it was acceptable to tour with these shitheels.

notfeelingcreative (June 14, 2010)

They toured with them years ago as well. They're most likely friends.

lookingforcorpses (June 15, 2010)

Fixed that for you; "The worst part of this story? That Strung Out felt it was acceptable to tour."

regreteverything (June 15, 2010)

Thanks pal.

regulartrite (June 14, 2010)

You're all dicks

notfeelingcreative (June 14, 2010)

Why? Because people don't like their music? They walked away with some cuts and bruises, it sucks but they're fine. It's not liked they were all killed and people are posting "one less crappy band" comments. I'm glad the band is alright, I don't dig their music. I feel bad for the poor person on life support, though, I hope he/she pulls through.

regreteverything (June 14, 2010)

No. Rufio are dicks for not doing the considerate thing and being mangled beyond the ability to play their particular brand of "music".

dlangl4 (June 14, 2010)

no one even said anything bad this time. the band is ok, and only nice things were said about the other guy. at least you spelled "you're" right though.

TheChemist (June 14, 2010)

Fell asleep at the wheel? Use your mind, you dipshit.

alpod4 (June 14, 2010)

Winner!

TheChemist (June 14, 2010)

Real talk though: this sucks. They were my absolute favorite band when I was 12/13 years old. I would actually still probably go see them if they came around to SF. Hope they make a good recovery.

TheChemist (June 14, 2010)

Hope they have a good Road To Recovery****

hashbrowns (June 15, 2010)

you sir, are on fire.

TheChemist (June 14, 2010)

Hopefully this accident can be...Just A Memory when it's all over.

alpod4 (June 14, 2010)

killed it

TheChemist (June 14, 2010)

Ok I'm done with these. Don't Hate Me or anything.

regreteverything (June 14, 2010)

well played

alpod4 (June 14, 2010)

just when i think, you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do a thing like this... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!

chrisbowman (June 15, 2010)

hahaha

ZachLeg (June 15, 2010)

lolvanflippplhahalol

mike_killroad (June 15, 2010)

I can't believe some people on the org are so cruel. This blows, hopefully they are all okay.

There's a line you just don't cross with humor.

lookingforcorpses (June 15, 2010)

His last name is "killroad," hahhaa

jeffernator (June 15, 2010)

Glad they can still play Seattle with Strung Out/We Are the Union. Show will be awesome.

victim (June 15, 2010)

How in the world does and RV get sideswiped causing it to split in two?

mattramone (June 15, 2010)

It's a conspiracy!

returnofdebs (June 15, 2010)

most likely figure 8 bus racing at the rockford speedway.

maverick (scott) (June 15, 2010)

Holy shit, I haven't thought about figure 8 bus racing since I was a little kid. That shit was so rad! Are you from Rockford?

-Scott

bastard_squad (June 15, 2010)

They had built it out of aluminum foul, guitar strings and semen. It was either a rogue car crash or a rainstorm. Something was going to get them.

regreteverything (June 15, 2010)

Osteoporosis?

almostpunkenough (June 15, 2010)

that really sucks. if Strung Out likes these guys then who am i to thrust my hate upon them?

and i don't wish car accidents on anyone... well, maybe Tom Gabel.

2kings (June 15, 2010)

the band was actually decent except for the super annoying vocals

MeltingPlastic (June 15, 2010)

thanks to this post i just picked up tickets to the Philly show... didn't even know strung out was touring in the states

Earthvsmatt (June 15, 2010)

I like and still listen to Rufio.

I am not off to a good start here am I?

MeltingPlastic (June 15, 2010)

ehh, don't let the bastards keep you down

jeffernator (June 15, 2010)

Yeah no worries. They give Pennywise shit too, so yeah the collective org taste is sometimes suspect.
