I hear that Håkan from Division of Laura Lee is doing okay after his recent car accident. His back is reportedly still bothering him, but he's not gonna let that stand in the way of him coming on tour in the States. They play their first show over here tomorrow at the 9:30 in Washington DC.

They'll probably come over regardless, it's mostly a matter of whether or not Håkan will play.
