Exactly three weeks ago, on the night of thursday sept. 2, 2010, one of the singers of the tropical band I work with had a motorcycle accident when a woman got on his way (allegedly trying to commit suicide) and made him fall. He got cerebral edema and blood/food got into one of his lungs. After three weeks in coma, I've just received the sad news of his untimely death. I'm still shocked. Here are some videos of my band with him on lead vocals, in honor to his memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iYSIhEvviI&fmt=22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdgH-byHN_8&fmt=22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkNHULadTec&fmt=22 (Edit: Excerpt from his last gig, at least with my band)
Jorge Valero Rodríguez. June 1, 1980 - September 23, 2010. Rest in peace, my friend.

She broke a rib and punctured her lung,while the driver of the motorcycle broke his leg and dislocated his shoulder.
Motorcycle wrecks are never good.
I'm sorry for your loss.

on a side note, i have always wanted to play in a band with more percussion than guitars. do you guys even have a guitar?! set up must be quite a feat in a band of that size. lots and lots of mic's.
