Benjamin Curtis of Secret Machines & School of Seven Bells dead of cancer.

I remember seeing Secret Machines play in a small now defunct art space in KC a decade ago. Then saw them play in '08 with Coheed and Cambria in Albuquerque. 35 years old. Fuck cancer. |

I saw Secret Machines at Lollapalooza when I was 15 or 16, they closed with this massive version of First Wave Intact that ripped my fucking face off. I always felt sorta meh about School of Seven Bells though, they're pleasant enough but not great

i saw that. being 35, it sucks to see someone your age go like this.
my first secret machines experience was at bonnaroo in '05. they had a midnight set in the other tent. we were on our way over to the which stage to see trey anastasio, but the music and light show got my attention and i stuck around for a bit. right then i knew i was hooked. i ended up seeing them a month or so later opening for kings of leon and then again in '06 at lolla and in minneapolis on their 'in the round' tour. i'd say they are one of my favortite bands of the last decade. school of seven bells' 'alpinisms' is a pretty great record. i saw them a couple times here, but hadn't really followed them much after their second album came out. i knew ben was sick, but last i'd read the band said it was 'treatable'. a real shame that that wasn't the case. |
