Yesterday, Silkworm drummer Michael Dahlquist was killed in an auto accident in Skokie, Illinois. Dahlquist and two companions -- John Glick, guitarist of the Returnables and Doug Meis, drummer of Exo and the Dials -- were stopped at a traffic light and were intentionally struck from behind by a 23-year-old woman in a failed suicide attempt. Dahlquist, Glick and Meis were all killed in the crash; they were 39, 35 and 29, respectively. The woman was not seriously injured.


Although I am the only person on here who has rated the band he was in I thought I might as well post it anyway.

He left a great musical legacy with Silkworm and you would be wise to give them a listen. Especially if you like Pavement, Silver Jews, Dino Jr and the like.

So unbelieveably sad. Rest in Peace.
