| R.I.P. Dave Blood, Bassist of The Dead Milkmen | |
| Mar 11, 2004: Dave Blood, bassist for defunct Philadelphia rock act the Dead Milkmen, committed suicide Wednesday, according to a post by his sister on the band's official message board (http://deadmilkmen.com). He will be missed by all of Philadelphia, and PhillyMusic.com sends our condolences to his family and many friends.
"This morning Dave Blood is no longer with us," wrote Blood's sister, Kathy. "David is my brother. Since the breakup of the band David has never really found his niche in life. My brother was a smart, clever and talented person. Inner peace has seemed to elude him for the last many years. Sometime last night David chose to end his life. He left a note that I don't know all of what it said, he was not elaborate -- but he said he just could not stand to go on any longer." | |

The User Profiles page has been made searchable and will now display 50 profiles per page; this should make the list much more usable. The search field will search user names, hometowns, and instruments played. | |
| Interview by Joseph Lekkas | |
| The Vexers Sundays can be rough...Either I’m riding the remainder of a blissful weekend buzz, knowing full-well that zero hour is fast approaching, and the dagger-toothed imp known as the working week is around the corner, ready to bash my head in with a week of cold-hard responsibility, or I’m dead asleep until noon. But mostly, my friends, I'm just plain vacant. Nothing makes much sense. The hours slither by with indifference. It usually takes a score of attempts to rouse me from my nest to the cold streets of Philadelphia.
This Sunday was not much different. I was lazy and disconnected. I needed a good wake-up call. I got it, thanks to the lovely four-piece punk band, The Vexers.
The Vexers draw their influence from late 70’s British and NYC punk. The Buzzcocks, The Jam, The Dead Boys, and The Ramones get equal respects from the band. There are even touches of Patti Smith Group and modern-revivalists, Elastica, in the mix (possibly due to the fact that The Vexers are a female-fronted band). The Vexers are tight, really tight. Slamming effortlessly through a half hour set of aggressive, yet melodic punk. Punk played the way it should be played: just messy enough to prove the point that music is about heart, not precision, and tight enough to bring that point home hard. Yes, boys and girls, the Khyber was ablaze with some good old-fashioned truth. Keep your ears to the street and listen for the Vexers, you won’t be disappointed.
- Joseph Lekkas.
