Where's British Accents?

Ok, so some of you have started to notice the weekly e-mail newsletter hasn't been sent out as of late. The reason behind that? I've been really busy with work and haven't really had the time to keep it up to date. The radio show's still going strong though - tune in Sundays from 2-4pm (though not Sunday July 1 - we're taking a one-week break!).

Ra Ra Riot's John Pike found dead

British Accents wishes to extend deep condolences to the friends, family and fans of John Pike - drummer for Ra Ra Riot, who we were lucky enough to have grace the stage at the British Accents 8th Anniversary show last month at the Middle East... from NME:

Ra Ra Riot drummer found dead

John Pike's body found after air and sea search

03.Jun.07 9:07pm

The body of Ra Ra Riot drummer John Pike has been found.

Pike, 23, went missing after leaving a party in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The band played a show in Providence, RI on Friday night and afterwards attended the party in Fairhaven, MA. Pike left the party at 3am.

The search began on foot and by air yesterday around 4pm.

Pike's cell phone was later found in shallow water on a beach about half a mile from the house where the party took place, according to local Fire Chief Tim Francis.

This morning the search was extended, with divers searching the waters in the area.

The body was found around 4pm this afternoon (June 3) in seven feet of water in Buzzards Bay, about 200 yards from where his cell phone was discovered.
