Doug Bennett, the lead singer of the Canadian indie band Doug and the Slugs, died Saturday following an undisclosed lengthy illness. He was 52.

1984 with Renouf and Fishhead at the Misty Moon, I was leaning against a post during "Too Bad" looking around and when I looked at the stage the whole band was singing to me telling me to dance with everyone else. One of the best bar bands I ever saw even with the wide shoulders and guitar-necked keyboard.
