| 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. | |

| THE CHURCH OF JOSH VAN NESS There's one thing I can definitely say about up-and-coming New Jersey artist Josh Van Ness: Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the man has got GUTS. There's plenty more to say, of course. This is, after all, a review, and reviews are meant to garner attention, whether it be positive or negative. There are reasons why I feel Mr. Van Ness has got it, and I'd be happy to illustrate them for you. First off, The Pontiac Grille on South Street (and Philadelphia in general, for that matter) is a hard venue for even a loud rock no roll band to get respect. People stand in dark corners and attempt to look as disinterested as humanly possible as the bands sweat their balls off trying to put on a good show. Friday night, February 1st, was no different. The bands played their guts out. The audience kept hitting snooze. This was definitely not due to the lack of energy of the bands. They moved, they sweat; they played their little hearts out...Crickets. In the midst of a night of loud, energetic hardcore/metal/punk/what-have-you, Josh Van Ness was brave enough to step on that stage without a band. No wall of noise to hide behind. No "I'll make your ear drums bleed until you listen to me" tactics. Just a man, a guitar, and some damn good rock n roll songs. I believe he even said: "Don't let the acoustic guitar fool you. This IS a rock n roll show." What nerve. Shit yeah!
Wait, there's more: Not only did he get up there and face that obviously narcoleptic crowd head on, He woke them the hell up. With a tight, half-hour set of catchy, pop-soul fusion in the style of Jeffery Gaines, Edwin Mc Cain, and The Black Crowes, Josh Van Ness not only had new fans, he had believers. He kicked off his set with "(You Should Be) Careful What You Wish For", a song that should, for all intents and purposes, be on steady rotation on every modern rock station in the country. Hear to it once, you'll remember it. Equally as memorable songs like "10ft Tall" and "Spinning around" were driven by his soul-soaked voice and rock star attitude. He even played a cover of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" and made it believable. Now that's talent. Check out www.joshvanness.com to see when the next service will be held.
