R.I.P. FRED GAMBERG
Today is a sad day in the city of St.John's. Local musician, record label
founder, long time college radio DJ/supporter and all round eager beaver of
the punk scene, FRED GAMBERG drowned last night.
Fred was the drummer for local art punkers GIVER and co-founder of Best
Dressed Records. He was a driving force behind the local underground
scene doing everything he could to support and promote local bands. He
was a "DOer", rather than complain about the state off things FRED went
out and did what he could to ensure the scene's livelihood. He was
instrumental in the publicity a lot of local bands received and was
constantly trying to improve the visibilty and presence of many local
artists.
FRED was a daily part of many of our lives and will be sorely missed. A
memorial/remeberance party will be held at the LOFT on Tuesday night at
8pm and a benefit to pay for his headstone will be held on Sunday July 16
at the LOFT. Bands performing at this benefit will be posted tommorrow.
So, FRED, where ever you may be, KEEP ON ROCKING! You will be missed but
not forgotten.
PEACE, Hub
