R.I.P Gerard Smith

Only 36 years old and playing with one of the most innovative and exciting bands on the planet.  Having just released their fifth album – ‘Nine types of light’ and about to embark on a tour of the summer festivals, it is a tragic and untimely death.    Discovered while busking on the streets of NYC, he joined the band and became an integral part to their multi-layered, intricate, yet fluid sound.  A story of triumph in the face of adversity has ended on a sudden and sour note.
