Last Saturday (5), North Carolina sludge band Sourvein played a sold-out set at Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus. Sadly, that turned out to be the last show for bassist Mike Boone, who died in his sleep at a friend’s house following the show. Details are scarce, but the band posted the following information on their Facebook page:
