sdh - dicks hate police Add to My Profile | More Videos An ongoing story - reunions rarely ...Kind of chronological band / recordingshistory: See Blog! Don´t Worry ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Mikey Donaldson RIP 1961-2007 Pat Doyle( Offender’s Drummer) wrote: Mikey "Offender" Donaldson passed away in his sleep on September 22 in Barcelona Spain where he had recently relocated from Amsterdam. The cause is unknown at the moment. He was 46. He is survived by his brother Joe Donaldson, sister Marie Donaldson Ward, and sister Sumiko Hakari , all of Killeen, Texas. Mikey was the bass player for Austin punk band the Offenders from 1978-86. He also recorded bass tracks on MDC's groundbreaker "Millions of Dead Cops" and DRI's "Dealing With It." Mikey also performed regularly with MDC in the early 1980s. He moved to San Francisco in 1986 and went on to play and record with Gary Floyd (Dicks) and Lynn Perko (Imperial Teen) in Sister Double Happiness. After leaving the music scene for ten years or so, Mikey returned to Austin and reunited with the original Offenders line-up for a gig at Emos in March 2002. In 2003 MDC recruited Mikey and the original line-up, recorded a new album, and have been touring all over the world ever since. Mikey is universally regarded as one of the most innovative and inimitable masters of the bass guitar. He played his Rickenbacker like it was a out-sized rhythm guitar. Taking cues from Jack Bruce and Lemmy, Mikey pioneered an agressive speed-picking style and liberal employment of bass chords that few have been able to emulate in the past 20 years. He will be sorely missed, certainly in Austin and his hometown of Killeen, but also across the globe. A memorial celebration in Austin is pending and the date will be announced soon. David Dictor wrote: Mikey had rediscovered life in Holland in the last four years. His funny easy going nature was known throughout Europe. He fell in love with and lived with beautiful run away teen model and merch goddess, Selina Hakkensen. He relished playing with Tony Slug from BGK’s band “The Nitwitz” and his own squat band “Brutalized SS”. Mikey was planning a tour with MDC for Austailia and New Zealand for February 2008 and with the Nitwitz to Turkey in April 2008. He LOVED touring and loved music. He went everywhere with his music cd binder. He loved Swedish Hardcore and was up on the most obscure of bands everywhere.Mikey was a young hearted person from the old school of hardcore. He was “speed metal” before the term was coined. They don’t make many like this and when he is gone ,,,well he is fucking gone. It is a sad fucking day but know Mikey would want you to love life, belly up to the bar and yes, practice your instrument like it was the most important thing in life. For friends who may want to send some words here is an address.
