The New York Times ran a great article on the mid-70's early rock/punk outfit Death and it's second generation VT based tribute band, Rough Francis, on March 12th. Check it here. It is a must read.
Here's a video of Rough Francis playing a Death tune at the Monkey House in Winooski - 12/6/08
The original Death album, ...for the whole world to see, was rereleased on Drag City last month.
