Legendary singer Biscuit from Big Boys fame was found dead last Thursday in his home in Austin, TX. His liver failed and he bled internally. A wake was held on Saturday. Weird timing as he was on last week's cover of the entertainment paper, Austin Chronicle with a great article about his life. He died the same day it hit the streets...

If you weren't fortunate to see the Big Boys live, you've never experienced the raw power of a band at it's best. True DIY ethics and fun, raunchy funk!
"I want to be a problem
I want to make a scene
I want to make you wonder
Is it you or is it me"
"I'm a big question
One that you'll never understand
and to all you FRAT BOYS
we got your money in our hands"
Mr. Biscuit, may you rest in peace and show all those dead, washed up rock stars how to REALLY ROCK!!! You had soul bro! I'm glad you showed me that I could also start a band and rock out when all my friends were air guitaring to crap like Judas Priest. I didn't have to wear Polo shirts and Topsiders at the shitty Catholic school. I didn't have to hang out at the mall. I could belong to a scene that made SHIT HAPPEN. You single handedly saved me from a mediocre adolescence and for that, I thank you.
xox,
