Dallas Cook from Suburban Legends died this morning ( October 19th) at around 12:30 am in a motorcycle accident. crying

I know... I can't believe it... I don't want to believe it... WHY!!! Dallas didn't deserve to die... He was sssooo nice and friendly and funny... I was in shock when my friend told me after I got off work. I even tried calling Derek Rock, but he wouldn't pick up. I truely hope all of them are alright, especially Dallas' family.

Rest In Peace Dallas... You'll be missed terribly, no one can ever replace you...

Nicely put Matt... I feel real bad for Brian R... Poor guy. Damn, we gotta do something for the guys of SL and I'll give it to Derek to give to 'em all. Yeah? We'll look for stuff for it tomorrow while we get stuff for our act. Sound good?

I was depressed all day after hearing that. My friend asked me what was wrong and I choked up before I could tell him. SL is definitely one of my favorite bands EVER and it's going to feel so wrong to see them live without Dallas there.

I'd hate to burst your bubble, but theres a high chance that SL will be no more. Honestly, a lot of things were going wrong with them. First off they kicked Aaron out, and yes they did KICK him out dispite what you may here that really how it went, and then Tim quiting to spend time with his family. Things were just getting good with them, they got a new studio and then Vince came back and they just finished training their new trumpet player, THEN Dallas gets killed. SL was going to break up when they kicked out Aaron and Tim quit, I think for sure this time something like this will have SL finished. That and it would just be out of respect they not do any of that again, let alone the feeling of a loved one that you spent almost every day with for 5 years. It would kill you inside. Hell, I knew them pretty damn well from the beggining and it kills me to even listen to them. It's just too hard. That and Brian R. is taking it the hardest because of obvious reasons, His best friend dying and even worse, dying on his birthday. If thats not ******** up I don't know what is.

Yeah, we're going for sure. Damn... It is going to depressing...
*sigh* Why couldn't it have been Aaron?!

I hate living so far away though. Even if it was never the same I'd want to see them live [/selfish moment]

I figured they'd break up soon but I just wanted to get out there before the big split. To make it even worse he died in a hit and run.

Twas a sad day in the world of ska.

Well I may just have the news to cheer you all up.

Ok so I just got off the phone with Derek Lee Rock, and everyone is doing much better than expected. They are dealing with it well and Dallas' family doing well also. Not only that but they are sill doing the show at the iMusicast. Yes I know it won't be the same, BUT they're doing it because it's what Dallas would have wanted. He wouldn't want them to just be sad and do nothing. They are also still very much interesting in making more demos such as their newly released "Come Back Home" song (Which is on my myspace if anyone wants to hear it).
Its funny. They really do hold true to what they say... "Crackin' smiles even when we're sad. Thats just the way it goes in a ska band"

With that I am off and hope to see some of you at the memorial this Sunday. Best wishes to all of you.

I nominate SL to be god. domokun heart

SL came to town once, but I missed it. And I mean literally TOWN. They played in the skating rink in my actual town, which is quite rare. This was before my interests in ska peaked, and all I got out of their visit was a burned CD.

But man is it awesome.

Time to go listen to it.

RIP Dallas.
