Tickle Me Pink Bassist Found Dead

02nd July 2008 | by Aidan Williamson

Another tragic loss has hit the world of music this week after Johnny Schou, bassist for the Fort Collins based indie/pop/punk band was found dead at his home in Colorado.

The rest of the band issued a short statement that ran like this: "...The quartet from Fort Collins was to celebrate the release of their debut album with an in-store appearance in Denver today. Further information regarding the band's plans, and dates that have been previously announced, will be forthcoming in due time. Johnny Schou was 22 years-old."

It's been just over six months since Hawthorne Heights guitarist Casey Calvert was found dead on tour from an accidental drug overdose and a little over a year since Ra Ra Riot drummer John Pike accidentally drowned in Buzzard's Bay, Massachusetts. .

Tickle Me Pink had just finished a stint on the Warped Tour and were due to embark on a tour with Finch, Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Foxy Shazam this month.
