JOURNALIST & MUSICIAN ALAN WRIGHT: 1964-2004 - (28 June 2004) - He wrote music reviews, articles and did interviews in a staggering number of magazines over the past decade and more. He played drums in several fine bands, including The Earaches, with whom he was building a following and a rep for energetic, fun shows in Seattle. And he also wrote every review for the first three issues of Cosmik Debris back in 1995, as well as our first interview. We say goodbye to a sweet guy who died far, far too young.
