Jason Sears

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jason Sears (23 January 1968—31 January 2006) was an American punk rock vocalist best known for his work with Rich Kids on LSD. He was also an accomplished snowboarder who was part of the first Barfoot snowboarding team.

In a 2002 interview with Thrasher magazine, Sears said the name of the group came as a fluke: “It happened that some guy said, 'Ha, those kids will never be anything, they're just a bunch of rich kids on LSD, man.' The first party we played we didn't have a name for the band, so we put that one on the flier and it just stuck.”

Was one of many singers to contribute to the album Strait Up which was an album made in memory of Lynn Strait, the late lead singer of the band Snot.

Sears died in a Tijuana clinic where he was being treated with ibogaine, a drug derived from a West African plant that can help overcome addiction and withdrawal.

"This song's goin' out to Schlump. He's a great dude. Drink Positive."
