Cheap Sex Split Up

artist: cheap sex date: 03/16/2007 category: general music news

Cheap Sex have announced that they are breaking up after the tragic death of their guitarist, Chris Wick. The band issued this statement from their MySpace profile:

"On March 1 Cheap Sex lost somebody who was very important to us. Chris Wick our guitarist on our second album - 'Headed For A Breakdown' hung himself after struggling with heroin addiction for the past couple years after the death of his mother three years ago. Chris was a great friend and an absolutely amazing talent and will be forever missed.

"The band feels like at this time we are at a crossroads with the loss Chris and our drummer Gabe in particular who was his best friend wants time to deal with Chris's death. Therefore I am sad to say that Cheap Sex will be breaking up and we will be announcing a final show shortly."

The other members of the band are hoping to continue performing though under a new name with new material. They are asking interested drummers to get in touch with them.

The band released their last album, "Written In Blood", last year. Thanks for the report to Punknews.org.

Cheap sex is a LA based street punk band. They had quick success from the first LP and by word of mouth
amongst the punk community. I am surprised they made it on UG. Sad to see someone die. This band has had a
brush with death when they were in a car accident several years ago while on tour. Sucks they are breaking up they were one of my favorite bands when I was 16 and a dirty little punk.
