Last month, Lil Lotus’ touring repertoire was faced with a pretty major health scare.

Ahead of a gig in Denver, Drummer Caleb Clifton suffered a series of seizures. His bandmates woke up to him having one that lasted until paramedics arrived on the scene, and after having blood work and a CT scan done, Clifton was released from the hospital, just to have another seizure hours later. He went back to the hospital and was kept overnight, but a week later, he was back behind the kit, laying out the beats for tracks off of the emo rapper’s at-the-time unreleased album nosebleeder and more.

Tickets to see Lil Lotus play Tampa’s Hooch and Hive on Friday, Dec. 8 are still available and cost $20.
