I don't know what to say. This is so devastating.
Jake "Jakermeister" McReynolds passed away last week (November 28th, 2024). For those who don't know, Jake performed guitar and backup vocals for Psychostick during the "Sandwich" era, which took place during 2008 and 2009. He helped write and produce a big chunk of "Sandwich" during his tenure with us, and that chonker of an album wouldn't have been what it is without Jake.
He also toured with us during those years, and all of our fans who got to meet him loved him. Jake understood the assignment. He threw on that goofy hat, those striped socks, and gave it his all. He was kind, caring, funny, generous, and just got us. We met him several years before Psychostick started to tour, as he had performed in many local bands in the Phoenix, AZ music scene.
I know it's not much, but I created a memorial page for Jake on our website. I compiled a bunch of photos from our archives and put together a list of videos he starred in, so please take a moment and check 'em out.
Rest in peace, buddy. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his friends and family in Arizona.
