Thomas Iain Smith, the lead singer for
Chow Chow, has passed away from a suspected heart attack, just weeks before the release of their awesome mini album Colours and Lines. We featured Chow Chow in Dazed just a few issues ago, so we, like everyone who rates their music, are truly shocked by this tragic news.
If you loved Iain's music, met him or just went mental at one of Chow Chow's madcap live shows, go to
www.chowchowband.com/
condolences.php and leave a message/memory of Iain for his family and bandmates.
Colours and Lines will still be released on July 30th on Fantastic Plastic Records.
