RIP R.I.P. B Jay Womack

Posted by Kelly O on Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 7:38 PM

B Jay Womack, age 34, lost his battle with cancer on July 1st. He was a member of a bunch of great Atlanta bands like the Gaye Blades (with Jared Swilley of the Black Lips), the Lids, and the Carbonas. He also released records under his stage name Bobby Ubangi. It's been said that he was pretty much the lynchpin/inspiration/impresario for anything fun that happened in the Atlanta garage rock scene over the past decade. His funeral will be held tomorrow, Monday, July 6 at the Honeycreek Woodlands near the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia.

The funeral donations have already closed, so I guess there's not much to do here in Seattle, except maybe have a moment of silence for a musician and friend to many - a guy that Kimberly of Duchess and The Duke says, "You couldn't help but love immediately. He felt like a brother straight off the bat..." He will be missed.

does that mean they raised enough for his funeral?

on a related note, someone should contact the "we fun" filmmakers about screening the film here. there is a blog about it on their myspace. it would be a good benefit..
