Pink Sorrow

Untimely death in Rock is a tragedy as old as the form itself. Last summer, Fort Collins, Col., Emo/melodic Pop quartet Tickle Me Pink joined that sad roll call when bassist Johnny Schou inexplicably died in his sleep on the eve of the release of 'Madeline,' the band's full-length debut. It was a blow that could have derailed the young group, but TMP was motivated to push ahead.
