DRUMMER VON BAD ASTRONAUT & ATARIS BEGEHT SELBSTMORD
Derrick Plourde, der bei den RICH KIDS ON L.S.D, BAD ASTRONAUT, den MAD CADDIES und den ATARIS trommelte sowie Gründungs-Drummer bei LAGWAGON war,. hat sich vor zwei Tagen das Leben genommen. Plourde richtete sich mit einer Pistole.
Unter anderem reagierten Fat Wreck Chords mit einem Nachruf: "March 30th was a sad day for the Fat Wreck Chords family as we learned about the passing of Derrick Plourde. Derrick played drums on the very first Fat release, Duh, and we consider him one of the founders of the label as well as a great friend. His profound talents can be heard on all of the early Lagwagon albums and also on recordings from Mad Caddies, Ataris, and Bad Astronaut. Above all, Derrick was a great guy who will be sorely missed and will always remain a member of the Fat family." (Quelle: www.in-your-face.de
