R.I.P. Mikey Offender
Michael Donaldson, better known as Mikey Offender, was found dead last night in Barcelona. The cause of death has yet to be announced. Offender played bass on about half of D.R.I.’s Dealing With It, played with MDC and Sister Double Happiness, and founded The Offenders in 1981. If “Face Down in the Dirt,” performed below by the reunited Offenders in 2002, sounds familiar, it’s because Napalm Death did an admirable job covering it on Leaders Not Followers: Part 2 a couple of years ago.
