BUM N' DRAZE FOUNDER JOINS THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY TOÜR
Undead review by This Bastard’s Noise (TBN) record label proxy, Teutonic Studios (TS):
Bum N’ drazE's “Closets in the Skeleton” 2017 tour reached a crushing crescendo with the terrible news that BnD's founder, drummer, and lead vocalist, Jouni "Dzouns" Anttonen, next-leveled and joined the great gig in the sky. According to TBN, "Not a pretty sight, but pure rock’n roll!" Those who experienced Dzouns's singular originality, prolific songwriting, and Finnish humöur please remember our friend and mentor by honoring (according to BnD's longstanding southpaw bassist, P. Sonic) his last musical wishes to play Ballad of a Thin Man, Mr. Tambourine Man, and Free Bird to remember the good times.

Also, forever immortalized in City of Ghosts (2002) and hundreds of TBN recordings, videos, pyrotechnics, and dare drops.
"I'm losing it, but I'm choosing it, and I don't want to have it back."
Rock on and thanks for the Jungle Metal Mob for the everlasting support!
BnD
"Is this the end of the road...or just another square one?" As a mere occasional guest guitarist with an opportunity to join Jouni's band and play with BnD on only a few phantasmagoric shows, I am hurting with this news. I wish him peace, love, and Lemmy.
Rest in Peace Jouni "Dzouns" Anttonen

That's shame, he was a nice geezer.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

See you in heaven.
Jouni was a great guy, to everyone...even to me, which is saying a lot. He had loads of friends and it seemed like a tough way to go for such a nice guy. RIP Jouni.
Yikes sorry to hear. The bassist died in Cambodia ten years ago. IIRC he suffocated himself by putting a baggie on his head? It was posted on this site at the time. Those guys were killer though...
Thank you for posting, very sad to see this on fb this week. Was happy I got to know him and hang out with him, and of course the shows were monumental. Feeling for his friends and family in Cambodia. Living in Hanoi now but makes me want to visit PP. If there are any services that anyone knows about please post details. RIP Jouni
