Sweet relief! The epic Caribou/Fuck Buttons tour, in jeopardy following a broken wrist suffered by drummer Brad Weber over the weekend, is all set to continue as scheduled tonight (April 1) in Carrboro.

The band's search for a last-minute replacement drummer has ended successfully. Let's meet the man, shall we? His name is Ahmed Gallab, he has a project called Sinkane (they're opening the April 9 Caribou/Fuck Buttons show, in fact), and he likes piña coladas, walking in the rain, and rocking your face off. Welcome to the team, Ahmed! See you on the road.
