Shocking news to report this week. Magnolia Electric Company's bassist Evan Farrell has succumbed to injuries sustained from a house fire in Oakland, CA. He was 33.
From their web site:_All of us are tremendously saddened by the sudden and tragic death of our good friend and collaborator, Evan Farrell. Evan, who played bass and pedal steel with us during our fall tour this year, was caught in a fire caused by a faulty furnace in an apartment in Oakland, CA late last week. He died due to massive smoke inhalation. Evan was an incredible musician and a dear, dear friend. He was a member of Japonize Elephants, Rogue Wave, The Hollows, Mega Mousse, Kentucky Nightmare, and countless other projects and collaborations. He was funny, kind, generous, and supremely talented - he will be missed terribly. Evan was also a husband and a father, and a memorial fund has been set up in his honor. If you find it in your heart, please donate. We love you, Evan, and we are better people for having known you._further articles and obituaries can be found here:"Entertainment Weekly":http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2007/12/in-memory-of-ev.html"Billboard":http://billboard.blogs.com/jadedinsider/2007/12/remembering-the.html#more
