Quote from: open face surgery on Today at 12:14:05 PMSome fella killed himself onstage at a Swell Season gig a few years ago. Say what you want about the music but that's a step too far.

Yeah about one step id say since he fell from the ceiling. I wonder what song it was to cause this kind of friendly fire? They should've been more careful with their set list. ...I mean , this guy was a real jerk ;-)

Seems appropriate to post - RIP Glen Hansard:

Himself and Eddie Vedder good ol' pals, randomly, I think because they both had people die at their concerts.

They go back a long way, they've toured together and collaborated on a soundtrack a few years ago.


Hansard met Markéta Irglová in 2001 when she was 13 and he was 31, at a music festival organised by her parents in the Czech Republic.[25] Years later, during the promotional tour for Once, Hansard and Irglová began dating.[26] Hansard said of the relationship: "I had been falling in love with her for a long time, but I kept telling myself she's just a kid"

Man, Kavinsky was the soundtrack to bad house parties and worse drugs in 2011/2012 - great times.

Quote from: Ollkiller on Today at 12:09:06 PMJesus thats awful. Saw the frames 25 years ago and they were great back then. He was on top form with Eddie vedder but the best gig I saw him at, was when he performed with Interference (the singer passed away from motor neurone disease) and that was sensational. RIP

Great documentary called Breaking Out about Fergus O Farrell.Definitely worth a watch.

Aye I saw it. Good watch.

Ive heard from one or two people they wouldn't let a young girl be alone around him. Dont know if its bullshit or not mind you.

It's not, by all accounts from gig-scene females of our generation

Dig into reddit and you'll find a lot of discussion on this topic.

In my book anyone who meets a girl at 13 (when he's 30) and waits till she's 17 to start going out with her is a wrong one. As jpm4 pointed out plenty of other comments/accusations on the reddit threads.
I have a dublin mate who posted today about how at gigs they'd quietly tell people to not let him around their young relatives/friends.

I had know idea, just been reading about varying accounts. Putting it politely it's messed up shit.
