Silkworm's Michael Dahlquist killed; The Brunettes
|

Whenever anyone asks me what bands I'd like to see come through Omaha, the list is pretty small: Red House Painters/Mark Kozelek, Yo La Tengo, and my favorite of all, Silkworm. I was never able to get anyone interested in bringing Silkworm to Omaha, probably because for whatever reason, they're virtually unknown here (even though they once played The Cog Factory (which I missed)). Now it'll probably never happen. Silkworm drummer Michael Dahlquist was killed in a car accident July 14 in Niles, Ill. According to a post from group member Tim Midgett on the band's official Web site, two other people in the car with Dahlquist were also killed. "They were behind a car at a light," Midgett wrote. "A young woman, bent on doing injury to herself, ran into the back of the car at a high rate of speed. Evidently, all three guys were killed instantly." Now Billboard.com is reporting that the woman who caused the accident was allegedly suicidal, and is being accused of deliberately causing a high-speed crash. Sad news indeed. Look for an interview with The Show Is the Rainbow online here tomorrow. ***CD Review***
