Muet depuis presque 20 ans, RYE COALITION (post hardcore / US) sortira le 18 juillet un nouveau 45t sur lequel il rend hommage à deux de ses amis récemment décédés : Steve Albini avec la reprise du 'Wingwalker' de Shellac en écoute ci-dessous, et Rick Froberg avec celle du 'Bullet Train to Vegas' de Drive Like Jehu.

Update: I can confirm, #RickFroberg played drums on #CrashWorship’s “This” cassette in 1987. He played 1 or 2 shows with #Physics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybPPaVg6XI4

Discogs shows #RickFroberg was briefly in #CrashWorship and #Physics but he isn’t listed in the credits for any actual releases. Was he part of the live performances?

Aww man, gone way too soon. Hard to believe just how many great bands he was a part of.

I feel like Rick's legacy is already assured with #DriveLikeJehu and then #HotSnakes, but also more people will discover the short but sweet run he had with #Obits.

Also his fantastic visual art - the memorable LP sleeves, wild gig posters and witty merch designs he created for all the bands he was in. I'd love a big book of that stuff. #RickFroberg

Obits

Rock'n'roll band from Brooklyn, NY. Found at the bar, left in peace.

RIP Rick Froberg. Last time I saw Hot Snakes back in 2018 at Oslo in Hackney. 😢

A sad farewell to Rick Froberg. I've been a fan of all his iterations, but this album got me through some of my worst youthful times. Even if the shitty dubbed copy I had didn't have a track listing and I thought he was singing about "rump roast"

Rick Froberg has passed away. His musical output and influence will go on forever. Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, Pitchfork, Obits - these are the bands other bands have either tried to sound like or made them pick up an instrument. Rest in power. #RickFroberg #DriveLikeJehu
