Steven Jensen (Ex-Vandals) ist tot

Steven "Stevo" Jenson, von 1980 bis 1984 Sänger bei den Vandals, starb am vergangenen Samstag in seinem Haus in Maui (Hawaii). In den vier Jahren seiner Bandzugehörigkeit brachte er mit den Vandals die "Peace Through Vandalism" EP und das Album "When In Rome Do As The Vandals" heraus, bevor der aktuelle Sänger Dave Quackenbush seine Stelle einnahm. Die genauen Umstände seines Todes sind noch unklar, Stevo wurde 46 Jahre alt. Unter der Adresse http://stevojensen.com wurde jetzt eine Kondolenzseite eingerichtet.

Offizielles Statement des Gitarristen Jan Nils Ackermann:

First as his friend and then as his bandmate, I noticed that whoever met Stevo was touched by his unique sense of humor and talent for entertaining. Trust me...there was nothing he wouldn't do for a laugh. I was constantly surprised and entertained by Stevo, even at our own shows. Stevo was a great friend and an outstanding entertainer. Anybody who came to our shows knew that. The Vandals of the Stevo years (1980-84) stood for nothing more than having a good time and poking a little fun at such a serious and confusing world. Stevo's Vandals had no dogma, no agenda, no anger, and no greed... Stevo was an inspiration to me and was always our friend...always. On behalf of myself and Vandals bassist Steve "Human"Pfauter, we extend our sincere condolences to Stevo's parents and family.Long Live Stevo...Anarchy Burgers for everyone!
