We are saddened to learn of the murder of our friend Fred Smith, also known as FREAK. He was 55 years old. Fred was the guitarist in Beefeater -- who released two album on Dischord during the mid '80s -- and later went on to perform in Strange Boutique and, after moving to the Los Angeles, a number of other bands. Information on Fred's funeral arrangements can be found here.
