From Al Atkins. HOLY RAGE ARE BACK AND READY!!!!!!
So here it is, it's been a long time coming but we are ready to hit the road again at long last.....
Lossa (Lawrence Farley) was Al's drummer in The Bitta Sweet in the 60's and remained his friend until he died of a sudden heart attack at age 56.
A very sad loss to his family, Al and indeed the world. You will be remembered Lossa.
God bless old friend.
