Michael Reidy, the whirling dervish singer of Razz, one of D.C.’s most popular bands, has died, at age 73, according to a family member.

I have lived in the DMV since 1997 and have been reading this DC music board since the early 2000's, and have literally never heard of this band. A quick search shows that they have never been mentioned here. May he Rest in Prominence.

I remember DC101 broadcasting one of their shows, back when we had proper radio stations.
