Periphery drummer injured, to miss European dates

Periphery drummer Matt Halpern dislocated his shoulder over the weekend, which will force him to miss a portion of the band's forthcoming tour of Europe with Between The Buried And Me. Here's the official word:

Bad news... Matt had an unfortunate accident yesterday and dislocated his shoulder! He'll be ok, but he won't be able to play for part of our current UK/European tour. Luckily, our good drummer friends, Mike Malyan of Monuments and Boris Le Gal of Chimp Spanner will be stepping up to fill Matt's shoes for this run. Please send Matt your love, and expect him back behind the kit maybe even as soon as the end of this current tour! Thanks for understanding, and see you at the shows!"
