Brian Brannon
While playing a show at The Sets in Tempe, Arizona Saturday, skatepunk band JFA had their performance come to an abrupt halt and nearly turn into a tragedy when lead singer Brian Brannon decided to stage dive into the crowds arms, but missed, smashing his head on to the concrete floor instead.
"We were playing the song "Lowrider" and when I sang "The Low-rid-er, he gets a little higher," I jumped into the crowd and depending on who you ask, I either jumped too far or people moved out of my way," stated Brannon. "It knocked me out cold and then paramedics arrived to make sure I was OK".
After pulling the plug on the set and experiencing a nearly sleepless night for all involved, the band decided that the show must go on and played the next night during The Apache Skateblast on the San Carlos Apache Reservation.
Brannon says JFA will continue to play full speed ahead just as they always have but for him, stage dives are a thing of the past.
