Powerman 5000 were on the 10th floor of the Radisson hotel, in Marietta, Georgia, when an electrical fire started after vocalist, Spider One turned on his air conditioner. Luckily, the band members made it out without injury and still plan to finish their current tour.
Guitarist, Nick Quijano, issued the following statement to Blabbermouth:
“I just wanted to let you know that we were all involved in a 10th-floor fire at the Radisson in Georgia this evening around 6 p.m.
We checked into our rooms to relax before our show at 120 Tavern and Spider One went to turn off his air conditioner unit in his room when an electrical fire broke out within the unit, shooting large flames across the room and filling the entire 10th floor with smoke. To make matters worse, the alarm and sprinkler system in the hotel was defective and didn’t go off to warn anyone in the hotel of the fire. We had to run down the hall and yell to all the other inhabitants to get them to clear the floor and get to safety.
Other than some smoke inhalation, we are all okay and will still be playing the show tonight at 120 Tavern and continuing our tour through the USA with AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE.
We are left wondering what will happen next on this run, but we want to let everyone know that the tour is STILL RUNNING as planned and expect to see everyone out at the remaining shows through North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.”
