I just got word that Frank Tovey - aka Fad Gadget - passed away yesterday due to a sudden stroke. I was a big Fad Gadget fan back in the 80s, and he was definately a big influence on a lot of the current "synthcore"/"electroclash" artists like Adult., Solvent, Lowfish, etc. After a decade or so away from electronic music, Tovey had recently revived the Fad Gadget name and had started playing live again, so I was really hoping he would hit North America for some dates, and perhaps record some new material. Very sad news indeed. :( Greg :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Greg Clow ::: greg@stainedproductions.com ::::::::: concert & event promotions ::: http://www.stainedproductions.com :::::: electronic music radio & reviews ::: http://www.feedbackmonitor.com ::: electronic/experimental record label ::: http://www.pieheadrecords.com ::::::::: 158 Close Ave. 2nd Floor ::: Toronto, Ontario M6K 2V5 ::: Canada --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
