MP3: Madrugada - Quite emotional
Robert Burås, guitarist for My Midnight Creeps and Madrugada, was found dead at his home in Oslo last night, July 12. He was 31 years old. MMC were scheduled to play at Stavernfestivalen in Vestfold tonight and the festival organizers have announced they will simply leave the stage black at 19:30, the time that the band would have gone on.

Like a lot of people, my first introduction to Robert's work was through Madrugada's landmark debut "Industrial silence", easily one of the best Norwegian rock albums ever released. Naturally, the first thing that drew me in was Sivert Høyem's unmistakable croon, but it was Robert's tremendous and understated guitar playing that kept my attention. He will be missed. RIP.
