Andy DeMize, drummer for The Nekromantix, and previously of The Rocketz, has passed away at the young age of 25. DeMize was involved in a car accident on the 57 Freeway in Fullerton, CA early Sunday morning.
DeMize appears to have been in the back seat of a Chevy Nova driven by a drunk driver, who had originally fled from the scene. The driver later called the authorities as he needed medical attention.
Racket loves partying as much as the next dirtbag zine, but please be careful and make sure not to drink and drive.
