“Beau was the first person I’d ever seen in our small scene that was going absolutely apeshit,” Siera once recalled. “I remember him picking up his amp and smashing it against things, and I just made a decision that I was going to play music with that guy. I didn’t know how or why, I just knew that I wanted to.” [via]
On Monday we noted the passing of inspiration, badass extraordinaire and now legend Beau Velasco. Today, Johnny Siera announced a viewing and memorial service in Brooklyn to take place tomorrow and Saturday. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Lets show Beau the same energy that he gave us all. Info and a video from the end of summer Bikes in the Kitchen show (Beau’s last) after the jump. I’ll def be pouring a 40 on the curb for my first time tomorrow.
Still don’t think that any tune is more fitting than this one…

“beau was the definition of a solid guy, i don’t know what to say beyond that. he was just a really great guy and its real shame what happened.”
-Dan Deacon
FUCK. Beau, although you will be missed you will never be forgotten. The scars that we bear and our memories collectively accumulated are far too great to go untold. For those who are unfamiliar with Beau by name, he was a founding power animal of TheDeathSet. Rock until you’re a legend.
