We are sad to report the untimely passing of Michael Dahlquist, the
drummer for Silkworm. Although Silkworm aren't a band who's hosted on
Brainwashed, the members are dear friends of the Kadane brothers from Bedhead and The New Year.
Michael died in a car accident in Chicago along with two other
musicians, John Glick and Douglas Meis. Our thoughts go out to the
victims' friends and family. For more information, see this story on the Seattle Post-Ingelligencer.
