THE BASSIST FROM PLOT TO BLOW UP THE EIFFEL TOWER DIED


Anyone remember this band? They played a show in Salt Lake with Locust and Tamerlane way back in January of '04 and things got a little heated.

I'm pretty sure they wrote a song about it, but I can't quite remember for sure. Anyway, the bass player Willy Graves died earlier this week, and SLC got name-checked in the band's statement.

"When the going got tough (and believe me, things would get fucking rough), we could always count on Willy to be the eternal optimist. Whether we were getting beat up in Salt Lake City, having our tires slashed in Baltimore, or getting pint glasses heaved at us in Wellington, NZ, we could always count on Willy to crack a joke or act silly to distract us from the lows. Same goes for all the highs we experienced together. All the amazing shows we got to play, amazing places we got to see, and amazing friends we got to meet; Willy lived all these things 100%. I've never seen him happier than when we raising hell in some foreign country."

I guess it's cool to brag about getting beat up in Salt Lake.
