Steve Foley RIP

This sad news comes from Fivehundy in the forums
:
Steve Foley, best known as the drummer who replaced Chris Mars in The Replacements, died over the weekend of a prescription drug overdose. Foley also played drums in Tommy Stinson’s first post-Mats project, Bash and Pop, and several other Minneapolis bands, including Swing Set, Wheelo and The Overtones.

Butler Note: From everything I read about him, he seemed to have it together pretty well so this is a huge surprise to me and makes me extremely sad. The Bash and Pop record is one of my favorite records.
