Chris Langeland of Thee Vicars, R.I.P.

Just read this on Facebook... Thee Vicars have a page here on the Hideout.

Sad news. Chris Langeland, guitarist and co-songwriter with Thee Vicars (the one on the right in the photo below), was found dead late on Wednesday evening. I'll be attending the funeral in Bury St Edmunds on Tuesday 7th August.

My thoughts go to Thee Vicars and Chris' family and friends during this time.

Such a tragic event.

Sincere Condolences.

[YOU GOT GOOD TASTE]

Sad news indeed.

Here's a pic from Thee Vicars last but one gig at WEIRDSVILLE on 7th July.

RIP.

Wow. This is really terrible news.

Was a big fan of Thee Vicars, especially around the time of Psychotic Beat!, and played them endlessly on the Dandelion show. What a shame.

Sad news...what happened to this guy?

So sad and tragic... I had just ordered a bunch of Thee Vicars 7"s as I heard the news, weird... Kind of ironic though, that it was this piece of news that led me to the Hideout (yup, I'm as green as they come), as I saw someone share the Hideout post about the tragedy and followed up on the lead.

But hey, it just goes to show that you should make the most of the party called life while it lasts, Chris and the Vicars sure did...  RIP.

I saw them at the 31st Street Pub here in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago.  I really liked them, and I'm also sorry to hear about the loss.

Here's another pic.

And another.

And one more of the band having to sit way in the back of the Pub because they were underaged.
