      Former Built to Spill Drummer Andy Capps Dead

      Quanah Humphreys reports:
      On May 20, the website of Boise, Idaho newspaper The Idaho Statesman posted the death of former Built to Spill drummer James Andrew "Andy" Capps in its Death Notices section; Built to Spill’s publicist confirms the death, but the band offered no comment. Capps, 37, died at his home on Thursday May 18, but additional details and autopsy results have yet to be released.

      Built to Spill has gone through various incarnations since its 1993 inception, and Capps played in what may be considered the second version of the band. Capps is featured on 1994’s There’s Nothing Wrong With Love; previously, Capps and Martsch played together in their high school band Farm Days. Since moving to Boise from his home of Twin Falls, ID, Capps remained a fixture on the town’s music scene and played on Distorted, Retarded, Peculiar, the second release from former Built to Spill bassist Brett Nelson’s band Butterfly Train.

      Yesterday, the Idaho Statesman announced that "an informal memorial service will be held 4 p.m. June 10 at the Connector restaurant, 249 S. 16th, Boise."
