Steve Foley
Posted at 12:47 PM on August 26, 2008 by Steve Seel (15 Comments)

Very sad news today: Steve Foley, drummer and member of several significant local bands, has passed away.

Steve is probably best known to many folks for serving as the second and final drummer for The Replacements, following after Chris Mars. Steve went on to be in Tommy Stinson's post-Replacements band Bash & Pop, and then a few other groups, among them Wheelo, a band formed with songwriter Pete Lack.

A memorial service is scheduled for later this week. That's about all we know at the moment.

Our sincerest condolences to all of Steve's family and friends during this sad time.
