Who ever said Reign Supreme isn't tough? They're very tough, especially guitarist Dave Heck. Heck was stabbed yesterday afternoon (April 28th) in his backyard by an unknown assailant. Heck got his ass to the hospital, got stiched up and then made his way to the band's show that night.
Lambgoat got the band to expand on what happened yesterday:
"Dave walked out of his house into his back yard. Some dude, we don't really know who, jumped him. Dave thought it was a friend, joking, then realized it was actually an assailant. Guy pulls out a knife. Dave goes, "What the fuck are you going to do with that?". Guy stabs Dave in stomach. Dave goes to hospital, gets some stitches. He's totally ok, thank god. Nothing serious, injury-wise, just a flesh wound. Now, hopefully kids who are into pretending they are from the streets will give our stupid fucking band a listen. Thanks."
The band have confirmed they will not be missing any shows:
Yes, Dave got stabbed last night, got stitched up, and we played anyway.He is fine, and we are not canceling any shows.

For his part, Heck seems to have a sense of humor about the situation posting a photo on his personal Facebook page of the stitching with the caption "You can't keep me down. Playeeeeerrrr."
