Scottie Maloney, our beloved bassist, will be heading to the Disabled List for 6-8 weeks due to an injury sustained during a football game. Scottie leapt into the air to pull down a game-saving interception when he landed awkwardly, breaking his collarbone in four places.

The good news: He held onto the ball and his team got the win!

The bad news: The Paper Jets will be going on an unplanned hiatus until our man gets better, lest Frank and Brian turn themselves into a powerpop White Stripes.

Our Weezer cover goes unaffected, as Scottie’s part was – thankfully – already put down. The remainder of the sessions will go as planned and we will reemerge in September better, stronger, faster and with more dexterous bass-playing than ever!

He heads in for surgery on Tuesday July 29th, 2014. Please send your thoughts, prayers, and good vibes out to him for a speedy recovery!
