Animals As Leaders’ drummer got injured – band is forced to cancel all upcoming shows

Due to drummer Matt Garstka’s recent arm injury, Animals As Leaders has been forced to postpone their upcoming performances in Mexico, South America, and Australia. Although the progressive instrumental trio did not describe the type of damage, they did say that surgery would be necessary for it to heal, which would mean that they would need to take some time off in the near future.

To our fans in Mexico, South America, and Australia,

We have some unfortunate news. We’re going to have to cancel our upcoming tour dates. Matt sustained a serious arm injury that requires surgery, and there’s no way we can perform without him.

Rather than leave things up in the air, we’re calling it now and putting our full focus into writing the next Animals As Leaders album. New material is already in the works, and we’ll have more to share soon.

We know this news sucks – especially for those of you who’ve been waiting a long time to see us live. Canceling isn’t something we take lightly. Thank you for sticking with us. We’ll make it back to your cities with new music and a set that hits even harder.

Respect,
Animals As Leaders
