Evergreen Terrace drummer severely injured in fall

Brad Moxey of Evergreen Terrace Brad Moxey, drummer for Evergreen Terrace, was seriously injured on February 6 after falling 25 feet from a ladder onto a brick sidewalk while doing contracting work. Here are the details:
"February 6, 2015 was like any other day. Brad got up, kissed me goodbye and went off to work. Brad is a hard worker as a contractor doing home repair and remodeling. He was also getting ready for an Australian tour with his band, Evergreen Terrace, and had gigs lined up with his Nirvana tribute band. I got a phone call that Brad fell 25 ft off a ladder onto a brick sidewalk while working on a house. He was knocked unconcious for over 20 minutes and unaware of where he was once his eyes opened. After a cat scan and x rays the Dr's moved him to a room to get him ready for surgery. His elbow (ulna) was exposed out of his skin. It could have been much much worse falling onto his back/head from such height. The Dr's and nurses all say he is very lucky. His elbow was shattered into so many pieces they weren't sure the extent of his injury. The surgeon estimated a 2.5 hour surgery and plates would be placed in Brads arm, also possibly an additional surgery for an implant. 4 long hours later I got a call that surgery was completed, it took much longer because there were tiny microscopic pieces of bone that had to be taken out of brads arm, reconstructed, then placed back in. Once in surgery they revealed he not only broke his ulna but his radius bone as well. He was missing a marble size piece of bone also. Brad is doing good, he was released from the hospital after a 4 day stay and in pain still which is expected. He has headaches from his fall and some trouble remembering. He will start months of physical therapy to be able to eventually return to work and return to his passion of 20 years, playing drums."
Unfortunately, Moxey and family are now confronting mounting medical bills and physical therapy costs. Additionally, Moxey will obviously be unable to work or play drums for the immediate future, leaving him even more vulnerable to financial calamity. As such, a GoFundMe campaign has been set up, and we wholeheartedly encourage you to give Moxey a hand. For their part, Evergreen Terrace had the following to say:
"A few days ago our drummer and friend Brad Moxey had a terrible accident. Because of this we have cancelled our upcoming shows on Soundwave 2015. Please see the attached GoFundMe link for details. He's uninsured with a baby on the way. We are all in shock."

"You work constructionconstruction, you expect a child, but no health insurance.there's no fcking excuseexcuse nowadays. They'd be better off of he just died. Then abort that loser fcking baby" Yeah, it's funny to joke around on this site, but this is a real person with a wife and baby on the way. Shut up.

anonymous 2/11/2015 9:54:25 AM

Nirvana tribute band? Yuck!

obamacare is not stoked

anonymous 2/11/2015 11:18:24 AM

Same as above- having a kid? Be responsible and get insurance. What was the plan big man? Free ride off my taxes? I got insurance and pay every damn pay check while he is talking months off real work to play drums?! What the hell.

anonymous 2/11/2015 1:15:49 PM

No sympathy. fck you and the dumb c*nt that let you impregnate her.

anonymous 2/11/2015 1:22:16 PM

Where do these people get the nerve to ask for money. Your fans already buy yoirnshit and pay to see you play. Do you really think they should cover your life expenses and medical costs? Maybe you should leave the bands to the teenagers and get a big boy job. Especially with a kid on the way. fck. Its like everyone is turning black.

anonymous 2/11/2015 1:28:17 PM

Ladies and gentleman...Florida.

anonymous 2/11/2015 4:04:27 PM

Why not play the fest and use that money to help with a replacement drummer?

anonymous 2/11/2015 4:35:46 PM

He should have landed on his wife

anonymous 2/11/2015 4:36:50 PM

No workmans comp?

anonymous 2/11/2015 9:11:36 PM

You cancelled soundwave over a drummer??!? I'll fxcking do it. Seriously.

anonymous 2/12/2015 7:37:52 AM

No sympathy here. It's 2015 for fck's sake. You KNOW being uninsured in this day and age means you're just asking to get roflfvcked, especially doing construction. If you can't afford health insurance, don't have kids. Idiots.

anonymous 2/12/2015 8:04:19 AM

With a wife, your band time should be severely limited. With a fcking child in the picture, dude grow the fck up and leave the band bro's behind.

anonymous 2/12/2015 8:11:54 AM

This guy is my friend, the comments on this site make you all look like a bunch of fck heads. Get talent, then talk your shit.

anonymous 2/12/2015 11:02:12 AM

^ Talk sh*t? We are talking being an adult, you do big boy stuff and get married and having a kid- get insurance. Take care of your family obligations, be an adult and be responsible. How is that talking sh*t? You don't need talent to be an adult, I am sure ppl would be more understanding if he had insurance but they needed help with the rent etc. if the band doesn't pay enough to pay thehornedman bills- drop it. Asking for money is a dirt bag move.

anonymous 2/12/2015 11:38:48 AM

This band got ina fight in pittsburgh last time they were here no charity from me thick and thin will break yo skin from a 25ft fall

i_talk_shit 2/12/2015 11:44:10 AM

Spinal Tap drummers > Evergreen Terrace drummers

anonymous 2/12/2015 4:15:10 PM

Guarantee everyone talking shit is uninsured.

anonymous 2/13/2015 4:22:06 AM

Maybe so, but do they have a kid on the way? Are they crying online to have people give them money? Nope. You talk like someone who doesn't pay your own bills and has taxes and insurance sucked from your paycheck every two weeks. Point being, the kid would have been on gov insurance and I don't want to pay for it while this guy is playing in a band- quite the band and get a full time job with insurance, or pay for self coverage.

anonymous 2/14/2015 9:39:05 AM

PRIDE CAUSED THE FALL.

anonymous 3/2/2024 2:38:20 AM

quite the band/quite the band/quite the band: these typos are out of hand & hilarious.^ thank you, sage.
