"Swell Maps frontman Nikki Sudden died Saturday after a show at New York's
Knitting Factory, Billboard.com has learned. He was 49. No cause of death has
been made public yet, according to Secretly Canadian label head Chris Swanson,
whose company reissued 10 of Sudden's albums in recent years."
His brother, Epic Soundtracks, died a few years ago. As the recent
parent of 2
little girls, I can only imagine how painful it is for their family to
lose two
siblings so close to each other...
