RIP Sky Saxon

By Audra Schroeder, June 25, 2009, 11:29am, Earache!

Richard Marsh, known as Sky Saxon, passed this morning. The new Austinite had been in critical condition at St. David's with what was thought to be an infection of the internal organs since Monday, just two days after playing with Shapes Have Fangs at Antone's. Saxon was the founder and frontman for 1960s psych pioneers the Seeds.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Austin Powell spoke at length with with Saxon last week, and there will be more in Off the Record next week.
