Report of the death of Steven Santa Cruz, guitarist with Pink Grease:

Never reaching the top 30 in the UK, according to the Official Chart webpage their highest ranking was #36 in January 2005 with Strip (although Carlights, a later release, is probably more representative of the genre and is quite a catchy number):

Probably a human source.  Phantom often hears things before they make it into print.

Toast, thank you. 

Yes, usually I will get word before it's formally announced. Worst one most recently was when Larry LaPole passed away. A friend of mine's dad played bass for Larry in Larry LaPole & The Pole Cats, also word got to me via the guys in The Trashmen since Larry wrote several of their tunes. And lastly, the manager for The Trashmen is my boss.

Phantom is one of the few users here I'd absolutely trust even without a source. I think he's never been wrong before.

FB literally littered with posts about both Mitchell and Lewis before you posted them here.
 

Why not just copy them over as and when you see them on there?

Because I can't be arsed to do it on my phone. Actually, I heard about Lewis before it hit facebook, but It was 4am here and I wasn't going to piss about with posting stuff, so I turned my phone off and went back to bed for a couple more hours.

Well at least you’re honest.

 

And you’ve just made my point for me.
