RIP Ron S Peno, the not always easily penetrable voice of Died Pretty (yeah, “Winterland”, I’m talking about you there). Alas, the cancer he was diagnosed with in 2019 seems to have not gone entirely away after all; only about six weeks ago the band had to call off an October tour cos both Ronnie and drummer Chris Welsh were both fighting cancer, and I imagine Welsh’s headspace is not great right now with this news…
One of the highlights of DP’s peak period, “Caressing Swine” from Trace, their first major label album.
Ron’s post-DP project with Kim Salmon, The Darling Downs, and “Circa 65”
