            <title>Fondue Monks: cow killers</title>
            <link>http://fonduemonks.com/news.html#14</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Houston&#8217;s best funk-rockers Fondue Monks barely escaped with their lives this past weekend after their van hit a herd of stray cows on the way back from a show in Austin early Sunday morning. The guys weren&#8217;t hurt, thankfully, but their van&#8212;and a few cows&#8212;definitely took some damage.<br />You can get more information on the accident, including photos and some video, at the band&#8217;s website.<br />In other Monks&#8217; news, the band has a live DVD (recorded at The Meridian) coming out in the near future. The band is known for their great live sets, spot-on covers, and extended jams, so this should be quite the treat. More details as they come.<br />Written by David A.

            <title>&amp;quot;The Ultimate Thrill Ride&amp;quot; from the Drivers Perspective</title>
            <link>http://fonduemonks.com/news.html#13</link>
            <description><![CDATA[&#8220;We are lucky to be alive!!! It was the ultimate thrill ride&#8221;¦ After hitting the cows, we were racing uncontrollably at warp speed into total darkness &#8221;¦ No brakes, no lights, no steering, throttle stuck at 60 plus miles per hour, a truly terrifying experience&#8221;¦The engine finally died and the van rolled to a stop about a mile from the point of bovine impact&#8221;¦ Yep, we are lucky to be alive&#8221;¦ The investigating officer said that the Bastrop County Sheriff&#8217;s department has lost three cruisers, in recent months, to accidents involving escaped livestock on the roadways&#8221;¦ Seems to me that Texas cattle owners should put a bit more effort into maintaining their fences&#8221;¦ Better fences may prevent future fatalities to both human and bovine alike&#8221;¦ And finally, the result of poor fence maintenance on Texas roadways has left one Texas Funk band in need of a new van&#8221;¦&#8221; Chris Harkness]]></description>

            <title>The Fondue Monks&amp;amp;#8217; Speeding Van vs. a Herd of Cattle</title>

            <description><![CDATA[Cheeseburgers Al Fresco: The Fondue Monks&#8217; Speeding Van vs. a Herd of Cattle<br />Mon Oct 15, 2007 at 04:28:39 PM <br><br />Bands have van wrecks on the road all the time. Most are just expensive and time-consuming pains in the ass. <br />Few, however, are as strange as the one that Houston&#8217;s own Fondue Monks were just involved in over the weekend.<br />Monks manager Chris Harkness reported that he was driving the band&#8217;s van with band bassist Rozz Zamorano and singer Denver Courtney aboard. It was 4 a.m., and the band was headed back to Houston after playing the Speakeasy in Austin, and they were barreling down Highway 290 when a herd of cattle seemingly materialized in the road.<br />Harkness reports that he hit several of the beasts, killing two of them. The van sustained fairly extensive damage, but luckily none of the Monks were hurt. <br />Pics of the damaged van and totaled heifers can be seen on Fondue Monks website - <a href="http://www.fonduemonks.com">http://www.fonduemonks.com</a>. -- John Nova Lomax]]></description>

The band rolled up to the FOX 26 studio before the sun rose and staggered in, eyes half open, to perform a suprisingly energetic rendition of "Breath It In".
