Music News - Memorial Gig For Michael J. Hex Planned

01 March 2004 - 0 Comments

Mike Brassell - known to the world as Michael J. Hex of bands Squirm and the Hiss Explosion, passed away this week due to pneumonia. Mike was a wonderful musician and a thoroughly cheerished friend of many people in the Christchurch and Dunedin music scene, always a thoughtful and generous character.

With his passing Chris Andrews and Fleur De Lis thought it thought it would be appropriate that the musicians of Christchurch and Dunedin gave back to our passed friend, so are planning a memorial benefit gig to be played out in a fortnight - Friday, March 12th at the Media Club being the initial expectation, though this may change, depending on the response.

If you yourself were a friend, or you know people who would like to pay a musical tribute to Mike, please contact Chris by email or by phone 03-357-4261. All proceeds will go towards Mike's funeral costs, and will be accepted in the form of donation. We plan the gig to be a celebration of Mike's music and his character, as he will be sorely missed.
