STRAWBERRY GIRLS’ Van Died on Tour

by Ryan Minic | Dec 11, 2015

Well that’s a bummer. Strawberry Girls were travelling through Texas yesterday when their van’s engine exploded on the highway.

Thankfully nobody got hurt…

But it does put a damper on their current trek supporting Dance Gavin Dance on their 10-year anniversary tour alongside Slaves, A Lot Like Birds, and Dayshell. So the band launched a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds for a new vehicle. Word on the street is that they have some big touring plans for early 2016.

Luckily they’ll be able to finish out the remaining dates of their current tour hitching a ride with Dayshell. If you’re interested, you can donate to them here.

Strawberry Girls are out supporting their new album American Graffiti.
