Treat Her Right
From Wiki:
Mark Sandman
was an American singer, songwriter, and
musical instrument inventor, multi-instrumentalist and comic writer. He was an
indie rock icon and longtime fixture in the Boston/Cambridge music scene, best
known as the lead singer and slide bass player of the band Morphine. Sandman
was also a member of the blues-rock band Treat Her Right and founder of
Hi-n-Dry, a recording studio and independent record label.
Sandman was known for his deep distinctive Baritone voice and was notorious for his temper with the media on speculation of his private life as well as his dark, charismatic, and mysterious demeanor, which made him an unpredictable character in person.
He was renowned for his laconic approach to questions.
On July 3, 1999, he suffered a massive heart attack during a concert in Italy and died instantly.
He was regarded as one of the most underrated and skilled bass players of his generation, with many admirers such as Les Claypool, Mike Watt, and Josh Homme citing Sandman as an influence, of which the former said "Mark Sandman was probably one of the most creative and fabulous bass players I've stumbled across in the last decade or so."
With his signature two-string bass, Sandman created an unusual "slow and murky" sound, which he then incorporated within his band to critical acclaim.
