NO CAUSE OF DEATH YET FOR SEATTLE ROCKER SAUNDERS
Baker Saunders, bassist for rock band Mad Season, died Friday in Seattle. He was 44. The King County Medical Examiner has not released a cause of death, pending additional tests.
"He was a great guy, a great bass player. It's really sad," said Johnny Bacolas, bassist for Seattle rock band Second Coming.
Mad Season was formed in 1994 by Alice in Chains singer-guitarist Layne Staley and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready. The band included drummer Barrett Martin of the Screaming Trees. Mad Season was McCready's brainchild, conceived during a stay at a Minnesota drug and alcohol rehab facility, where he met Saunders.
"Above," the band's debut album, was released on Columbia Records in 1995 and reached "gold" status for sales of more than 500,000 copies.
Saunders, a native of Montgomery, Ala., also played with the Lamont Cranston Band in Minneapolis and recorded and toured with Seattle group The Walkabouts.
A service for Saunders was conducted Sunday at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Ballard.
