Sunset Rubdown Bassist Struck By Lightning

First of all, he’s ok, so you’ll still probably get to see some Dragonslayer live in the near future...just breathe. Holy shit though! As you can see from the electro-current shaped mark, he was tagged in the back and the information we know now comes from the folks at his label (Jagjaguwar) and the horse’s mouth. Read on…

A few weeks ago SUNSET RUBDOWN’s Marc Nicol, aka The Nuc, was enjoying a lovely lakeside evening when - BLAMMO - Mother Nature sucker-punched the bassist by sending a cascade of electrical spitfire from the heavens straight into his back.

According to The Nuc: “My heart started back up after the electrical shock. I woke up feeling like I was suffocating and was delirious. Then I passed out for an hour, woke back up and saw the hair singed on my leg. Only then I knew.”

Good news is that he’s a-ok.

For those keeping score - The Nuc: 1. Gozer: 0.

We’re really happy you’re ok, Marc.

There you have it. Best wishes go out to the superhuman known as Marc Nicol. Keep on truckin’, fella.
