Void (the DC band): C or D?

Didn't realize indie rockers weren't generally allowed to like hardcore bands -- which is quite odd, being that most indie bands owe their existance to the efforts of the hardcore bands (read Azerrad's "Our Band Could Be Your Life" for pedantic proof).

Sure, Void were great, but give me S.O.A. any day.

Sean Finnegan (of Void) Passes Away At 43

2.4.08

We are sad to announce that Sean Finnegan, the drummer from Void and an original member of the Dischord family, passed away on Wednesday January 30th of an apparent heart attack, he was 43. Sean's family will receive friends Monday 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 P.M. at HARRY H. WITZKE'S FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, INC., 4112 Old Columbia Pike, Ellicott City, Maryland. Sean played in Void while they we're active from 1980-1983 and was recently working on the set of the HBO production, "The Wire". An obituary and guest book can be found in the Baltimore Sun. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to Sean's many friends and family members.

In lieu of flowers Sean's family ask that donations may be made to the Fisher House, Walter Reed Hospital , Washington, D.C.

That's so sad. I will cherish my memories seeing that bezerk, crazy band during the early '80s.

Sad! Very sad!

VOID was pretty great. What a bummer.

43. Holy crap. Very sad.

RIP gonna rock the split LP right now

YOU JUST WANT
WHAT YOU CAN GET

the bartender upstairs at the khyber is wearing Void shirt tonight, I'm assuming this is why. Sad.

dude was two years older than me. spooky.

In the late 80s, there was a thrash band from Lebanon, OR called VOID. It stood for Victims of Internal Decay. They would play all of Slayer's Reign in Blood every Halloween. One of the guitarists played on a stool because he was missing his leg from the knee down (auto accident). Their shirts proudly proclaimed "Death on 9 Legs".

Original song titles from the VOID cassette included such hits as "Bart Simpson (he's a rad dude)" and "O.T.R. (on the rag)".

different band i guess, huh?

RIP

the faith/void split and the condensed flesh demo are godly

RIP

Wow, he was working on "The Wire"? Anyway, stone classic and R.I.P.

now we must face their deadly demands

the condensed flesh 7" was awesome, hard to imagine the rest won't be on the same level. gives hope for an official release for the potion for bad dreams lp someday...

Would support a thread title change to "Void (the Columbia, MD band)".

That Dischord re-issue is so, so awesome.

I got a kick out of the track that starts with someone in the room quoting the Jhoon Rhee commercial, as I expect many suburban D.C. 80s folks might.

I still need to pick that up. I remember that commercial--"Nobody bodder me, nobody bodder me eader"

Nils Lofgren did the music for that commercial (as well as the "Bullets Fever" ad)!
