R.I.P. - John Pike of Ra Ra Riot


Sad news reported by NME.

Ra Ra Riot drummer John Pike has been found dead. He went missing after attending a party Saturday night in Fairhaven, MA.

More details at NME.com

I was fortunate enough to have seen Pike in action with Ra Ra Riot a few months ago and it was one of the best performances I've seen by a young band in a long time.

Condolences to the band.

Sometimes "Gone too soon" just doesn't cover it.

Here's the band in Chicago last year:
