I am reposting the appeal below on behalf of The Cute Lepers and the Criscola family
Rest In Peace Travis

There there appears to be alot of anger around on my space about the incident which is a complete tragedy.
Apparently there is someone else from another band on the tour who also Od'ed that night who is just coming out of hospital., no idea what condition they are in.

I have also attached The Cute Lepers Epitaph for Travis Criscola
which is straight from the heart no bullshit.

NOW KIDS LET THIS BE A WARNING

Travis Criscola, rest in peace
Early the morning of March 28, in Cincinnati our friend and band-mate Travis Criscola passed away in his sleep. He was 24. Travis was guitarist in the Cute Lepers for the last six months and was the perfect addition to the band as it's developed. He was our friend. His company was always a pleasure. I don't think I ever heard him say a negative word about any one. He was smart, polite and considerate, always interested in learning more about music and playing guitar... he really loved music. He was passionate about music in a way that only other like minded musicians recognize and relate with. When Travis joined the band he would not think twice about jumping on the bus from Olympia and making the two hour ride to Seattle for a spur of the moment rehearsal, and then riding the bus two more hours to get back home. In fact Travis was doing this three times a week up until we left for europe to start our tour. His character and his commitment made him the very best we could hope for in a band-mate and a friend. We're gonna really miss him. We feel that it's appropriate and absolutely not in bad taste to disclose the cause of death of our friend. Travis combined alcohol and pills, then went to sleep and never woke up. It was an accident. Travis was not any kind of a habitual drug user. I'm a man who has left drugs and alcohol alone for over a decade and I just wont work with people who are mixed up with narcotics. It is rare to find a rock n' roll musician in his early twenties who doesn't get caught up in hitting the bars and going to parties on tour, and Trav was just one of those ones who made a really bad decision. He naively took some type of pills on top of the beer he was drinking and that's it. I believe that it would be a disservice for us to leave out this information. People would wind up hearing distorted versions of the truth anyways. Also our hope is that other young musicians, or anyone it may apply to who reads this will learn from our tragedy and perhaps wise up a bit. We're currently traveling across the country back home to Seattle with heavy hearts. Trav's family and his beautiful longtime girlfriend are in our prayers. --Steve

I HOPE THE PEOPLE IN THE USA GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND VOTE HER AWAY INTO OBLIVION

THANKYOU FOR VIDEOS AND COMMENTS

JUst noticed ive been listed as 'Nips' in the list below!
Means tits in the USA apparently!

It was 'The Nipple Erectors 'who played at The Roxy..'The Nips' was a name the older male record company decided to use a couple of years later..
i wish people especially ones who were not there and decide to put out books would get their facts straight before they write these books!

In a world where young girls view and value themselves in sexualised male terms even calling themselves such names as 'Bitches' and 'sluts'..maybe it is time feminism is revisited BIG TIME?!! Using NIPS? TITS? is missing the point!..sic


Arcane Vendetta and Shanne Bradley of The Nipple Erectors are quoted


Thankyou Paul!

The Roxy London WC2 – A Punk History by Paul Marko..
"On New Years Day 1977 the first UK club devoted exclusively to Punk opened with the Clash. By its closure in April 1978 nearly every major and minor Punk act and face had passed through its doors. Here is its history told by the bands and clubgoers from the time; of music, youth, fashion, drugs, violence and gangsters.

here is what The Dirty Water Club say...



THE NIGHT MARCHERS is the new rock'n'roll band of Speedo, formerly of Rocket From The Crypt and Hot Snakes.

THE DRELLAS is the new band of Tommy Scott of Liverpool indie giants, Space. And will feature a very special guest too! Don't ask us, we're not telling!

THE FRAKTURES are also from Liverpool. If you like the Buzzcocks you'll want to see The Fraktures.

THE NIPPLE ERECTORS, the punk era rock'n'roll band which featured the talents of one Shane Macgowan, are back and sounding absolutely fantastic. With half the original members performing at this gig, Shanne's 15 year old daughter Eucalypta aka Lady Vengeance is taking over Shane's vocal duties and Eric Le Baton will sit in on the drums.

They're all at the Dirty Water Club on Friday 6 June, in the Boston Music Room, 178 Junction Road, Tufnell Park, London N19 5QQ.

Doors open at 8.30pm - get there early 'cos it's sure to be a busy night.

DJs after the bands through til 3am.


i believe the tickets are around £6
