patrick boo Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Fuck.I got an e-mail from Nikki only a few weeks ago - he and John Rivers kept in touch due to Real Shocks connections. What a shock. No word as to how he died yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 More bad news...I loved Swell Maps. His brother, Epic Soundtracks, died a few years ago, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_b Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 In 1997 I think. I would have been equally gutted if i'd have heard of them back then.Will we ever see their likes again? Anyone who can switch genres like they could with equal talent and skill deserve to be remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Jowe Head still lives on! We've been on vinyl together once or twice. Let's hope Dan Treacy keeps getting his act together, and doesn't keel over too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 They've been up a few times in the past....that venue opposite Pittodrie which was the Linx Carvery (I missed it because I was in London...talk about cheesed off), and the Venue (where Jowe took over as Dan was 'indisposed').
