Seth Fein was born in Urbana and now lives in downtown Champaign. He owns and operates The Nicodemus Agency, is the founder and curator of Pygmalion Music Festival, and is an assistant talent buyer at The Canopy Club. He loves the Purdue Boilermakers and his wife's marinara sauce.
One of our finest bands has suffered a bit of a set back this week, as Nic Dillon of Casados was injured by a falling tree during some rough thunderstorms last weekend.
According to bandmate and wife, Heather Dillon, Nic was cleaning up some of the picnic before planning to take shelter inside when a tree fell and hit him from behind, lacerating the back of his head, fracturing his skull, breaking his scapula and several ribs and slightly puncturing his lung.
Fortunately, all is looking well for Nic, who is currently on the road to recovery in a Bloomington, Ill hospital. Update: Plans for him to return home have come to fruition, he is currently back in Urbana, and resting well in a big comfy recliner with electronic features to make it easy on him.
Scheduled performances for Casados have been canceled except for an appearance at the New Bohemia Music Festival in Cedar Rapids, IA.
We wish him a quick and healthy recovery, and look forward to seeing him on stage again soon.

you know, that's what happens when you become a rock star - everything starts gravitating toward you.

I was bummed after a tree branch fell on my car (the only car hit on a car-lined street) but then I got wind of this. Sure puts things in perspective. Here's to a speedy recovery Nic!!

I'm confident Nic and Heather will soon turn this freaky event into a beautiful song. I look forward to hearing it!
Best wishes Nic!
