David Wm. & Rick Sims
Michael Weber
Does anyone know if David Wm. Sims (the JL) and Rick Sims (ex-Didjits)
are related? It seems like more than a coincidence, as the two bands
are old friends, were on T&G records, and are connected via other bands
as well (drummer Rey Wesham was in Scratch Acid, Rapeman, and the
Didjits for a time).
Speaking of...one time I saw the Didjits in Chicago, and Rick had
layrngitis, so David Yow filled in on vocals. He wore blackface, and
didn't really know any of the words, so instead mostly just stood
silent, just giving the audience the finger.
I also heard that John Spencer (Boss Hog/Blues Explosion) and Chris
Spencer (Unsane) are brothers, but who knows.

David Wm. SIms and Rick Sims are not related.
Jon Spencer and Chris Spencer are not related.
Rey Washam was never in the Didjits.

I know Pete Shore was on COld Hands but I odn't know if CHris ever had anything
to do with Boss Hog I don't have "Drinkin' Leechin' and Lyin'" so someone might
check that.

I don't know that he ever played live with them, or was officially a
member, but he is the drummer on their "Little Miss Carriage" EP.
(Recorded after Rick's real brother Brad "Weiner Dog" Sims left the
band).

If I recall correctly, Rey is related to Ben Washam who was an animator on
a lot of Chuck Jones stuff. This other Washam might be in the family.

You are correct but that was a studio job only. He was never a member nor,
as far as I can recall, did he ever play live with them.

AS long as were on the subject of relations, does Steve Albini have any
relatives named Frances? Albini does not appear to be a common name, and
Frances does write on Chicago organized crime....
