On their way to Savannah, Georgia, Transient was in a head on collision when an SUV flew over the median and landed on them. Krysta had to be airlifted to the hospital. We are all relieved that they are alive and doing ok. The van has also been completely totaled. We need help with insane medical bills and other bills that will come from this.

Krysta has been released from the hospital and currently is in Arizona with her family while she recuperates and has physical therapy. She remains in good spirits and is very grateful for all the support and love everyone has been sending.

Donations can be made here:

Please mark as a gift if that is an option. I just found out that paypal wont take a cut if you mark the donation as a gift.

Local benefit shows are in the works and will keep everyone posted when we get them figured out.

Please send Transient your love and support!

Julie

After over three years with Transient, Julie Jolliff has decided to part ways, and focus on new creative ventures. We have been playing with our dear friend Stefan Thompson on guitar, he is up to speed on our material, and we are excited to be working on a new LP.

Our split EP with Elitist (PDX) is out now on Relapse Records, available in Red Translucent Vinyl.

We will be doing a full US tour starting in July 2011, with over two weeks of dates with Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest, Tour dates will be posted soon.
