Garrett Russell, the singer of Silent Planet, posted video of himself getting struck in the head by a drone during the “Summer Punch” festival in Warsaw, Poland, this past Thursday, June 18, as per theprp. As you can see in the video below, Russell struggled to free the drone after it got tangled in his hair. When Russell finally managed to free the drone from his hair, he flung it out into the audience and crushed it onstage, leaving a wad of his hair lodged in its propellers. Silent Planet, a politically conscious band, will play two gigs in Ukraine this week, making them one of the first Western musicians to do so since Russia invaded the nation in 2022.
took a drone to the dome in Warsaw. was raW today we are driving through Ukraine en route to Kyiv. perhaps it’s fitting this happened right after we played ‘Panopticon‘ and yelled a bunch of words about mass surveillance, ai… but sometimes you just break a couple lenses in the panopticon and keep moving. a fistful of hair (and irony) later, i give you this cinematic masterpiece by @dontshootskrlx my bandmates and crew are the most badass n talented humans on this planet. it’s a gift to share these moments where we pull each other (literally) thru time anyways… Ukraine will be free and it’s up to us to cocreate a better future . see you there my only seraphim
