It is with deep regret that I write about the death of Pete Williams.  Pete, drummer with Sunlounger and more recenty GU Medicine, was a massive force both behind the kit and in person. I had the dubious pleasure of spending a week or two in the back of a van with Sunlounger back in the days of playing with J*R and it will not be forgotten any time soon!

My stories of that tour are told regularly over a pint or two – to think that he is gone is just really, truly saddening. Maybe I’ll recall a story or two on a future posts.

A page of rememberence has been posted on the GU Medicine Myspace page, Click Here.

Rest in peace Pete. Be good !

Here at Destroy before Reading are very excited to be building a library of live sessions of local (and not so local) bands. Often in association with Higher Rhythm Studios, the sessions are a unique snapshot of bands in session, playing live.
