Grizzly Bear bus mishap causes them not to open for Wilco in Italy ++ "Ready, Able" VIDEO

Wilco + Feist + Grizzly Bear in Brooklyn (more by Eric Townsend)
Wilco

"Driving overnight after the show in Munich Thursday night, the bus and trailer were hit and rendered immovable. The trailer was wrecked and the bus engine split. Everyone involved is fine and spent a day in Austria pulling things together. However, a replacement bus and trailer was supposed to arrive earlier today to pick everyone up in time to make the show in Milan tonight as special guests to Wilco, but it did not show up for hours and thusly we will miss tonight's performance. Rest of tour continues as scheduled. Italy, we will make it up to you." [Grizzly Bear]
The Wilco show in Italy was a one-off show on Grizzly Bear's current tour with St. Vincent (Annie is the opener. She plays solo.). Last week GB released a cool new claymation video for the song "Ready, Able". That video and all dates below...

Considering the total fucking embarrassment when Ed joined Wilco on stage in Brooklyn this past summer, I'd say the fans in Italy were spared having to endure this thoroughly overrated ass clown.

anon @ 8:09 sounds like a jealous douche. Sorry your band sucks man. These guys were amazing at the Palladium. If anything, you should be happy they're from your city.

seriously...you're the asshat if you're honeestly claiming that a fan that bought tickets for THEIR show would be better off without hearing them based off a harmless drunken stand-in session.
