Overthrow Cock Rock and Idolize Your Girlfriend

Sad news to pass along about Lance Hahn, vocalist/guitarist for J Church. He passed away over the weekend. Here's a post on PunkNews.org with more information. Kyle posted the following bulletin on MySpace:

Hey everyone,

Word is rapidly spreading through the grapevine that Lance Hahn, founder and frontman of the beloved J Church, passed away today after a long illness. As a fan and friendly acquaintance of Lance's for 15 years, I'm crushed. J Church is one of my favorite bands, and their music occupies more space on my iPod than anyone else's--it should considering they released 10,549,420 albums.

Snd On Snd was truly honored to release a split 7" with J Church this year. While we're helping plan a memorial/benefit show, we want to help NOW. So, 100% of the proceeds from any order of our split will go to Lance's memorial fund. Send $6 (postage paid) via PayPal to Info@CMYKyle.com. You can also donate $$ directly at vulcanvideo.com. Please help!

We're already missing you, Lance...

Kyle & snd on snd


J Church was one of the most prolific bands of their time. In addition to seven proper albums, they released an astonishing four collections of songs originally appearing on vinyl singles. Hahn was the main songwriter and led the band through various line-ups. Truly a big loss.

UPDATE: Kyle wrote a very nice piece over at the AV Club.

It's been a year since I moved away from Lakewood, and even though I could relocate to a new place as a newly-single guy, I've chosen to stay where I am. I enjoy living in North Dallas/Richardson given its central location, being not too far away from places I have enjoyed going to in my fourteen-plus years living in Dallas County. Living in Lakewood for nine years was critical for me, but I am glad I don't have homeless people going through my garbage, my street getting shut down like it's Mardi Gras on Halloween night, and I don't have to answer to the not-so-friendly landlords who bought my old place. I have a new housemate moving in at the end of the month and I have many reasons to be excited as he's been a friend for many years. Couple that with a humongous  new record store opening in nearby Farmers Branch , shows to see, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for something very cool (for which I reveal at a later date) and I'm happy to say fall is sha...
