I didn't see it mentioned here, nor do i even know if anyone even reads this forum anymore, but I wanted to let everyone know that after two major heart surgeries and about two years of waiting for the inevitable, Luke Ervin passed away friday morning in his sleep due to complications with his heart condition.
His funeral will be held tomorrow, monday, at four o'clock pm at Jenkins funeral home in Startown where he lived.
A two day show is being planned at the milestone for december 22nd and 23rd for all the bands luke loved and the people who were friends with Luke to play a set in memory of him. I'll post more info as its available if anyone is interested.
Luke was a huge supporter of the local music scene and was always good for finding that diamond in the rough type band that no one would have even heard about otherwise.
For those of you who may not remember him, Luke was the one who always hosted Insurgent Fest for our old friend Robby who passed away a few years back. They were in Gutfux together for a few years and made for some awesome fun times and tunes.
After Robby passed, I was lucky enough to record some songs with Luke under the project name The Big Girls, where I think Luke's heart and soul really came through. I even still have some copies of the tape we put out if anyone is interested.
I'm just rambling now, but this shit really sucks. After losing close friends suddenly like Stuart, Robby, Mark Williams and now Luke, it just reinforces the realization that our special music scene is literally dying right before our eyes.
It takes someone keeling over just to get people to fucking pay attention anymore. Fuck it.
