R.I.P. Beau Velasco
1978 - 2009
R.I.P. my dear brother, friend and band mate Beau Velasco. We are all
so devastated that I will keep this short. We love you and you will be
missed. You affected us all so much in the most positive ways. Our
lives would not be as is, if not for you. We love you.
Beau Velasco, beloved brother, co-founding member, guitarist and
vocalist of The Death Set, passed away Sunday, September 27, 2009, in
Brooklyn, New York. Beau co-wrote the Worldwide album and previous two
EP's with Johnny Siera, with whom his partnership reaches back beyond
The Death Set's beginnings, to Black Panda from the Gold Coast,
Australia. The Death Set moved from Sydney to the US in 2005, but Beau
took a back seat from touring a while later. This original core lineup
of the band had recently rejoined to write and record the next record
and to resume touring together.
Beau was also a talented artist, tattoo artist and jewelry designer.
Working at Saved Tattoo in Williamsburg and Black Ink in Harlem. His
artwork has been exhibited in Australia and America. There is a nice
piece remembering him in the New York
Village Voice. And Baltimore City Paper has published a warm piece with Johnny and Rabbit.
A wake and a beautiful memorial service at Saved Tattoo occurred in the days following Beau's passing in Brooklyn, friends and family gathering together from afar to cry out their love and to carry strength forward together. A memorial at Beau's family's farm in Australia took place on October 22 with help from longtime friend and bandmate Dan Walker.
There's a Flickr gallery that's been set up to collect photos of Beau. Please feel free to contribute any of your own memories.
This was The Death Set's first and last show together as the dream unit of Beau, Johnny, Dan, and Jah:
Our friend Emily Rabbit put this video together for the memorial in Australia:
