#11 Jay Reatard R.I.P.



Sad news:
Garage rocker Jimmy Jay Lindsey Jr, better known as Jay Reatard, passed away last night in his Memphis home. Jay Reatard died in his sleep at the age of 29. More details are forthcoming.

Jay Reatard played in about one million bands. The past couple of years Jay Reatard toured and recorded with his solo project. I saw and played with him in 2007 when my old band The Quotes opened up for them at the Patronaat in Haarlem.
Their set was simply put brilliant. Brutal, tight and rocking while breaking some ear drums here and there.

Jay will be missed. R.I.P.
