R.I.P Lance Hahn

22Oct07

After long battling complications from kidney disease, Lance Hahn leader of influential punk band J Church passed away yesterday in Austin, TX. He was 40 years old. I think I first met Lance in 1992 during Bratmobile’s first trip to San Francisco. His support and love of women’s musicians soon made him a comrade in arms at a time when not many men were. Lance’s presence on the Bay Area punk scene was always a positive and prolific one and should be an inspiration to musicians today. He never waited for anyone to do anything for him, whether it be book a show, put out a record or start a label. He was and continued to be until the time of he way to early death an example for all of us to follow.
