Chris Schlosshardt
September 30, 1964 – February 1, 1991
Chris Schlosshardt was the founding bassist for sleazy glam metal band, Sea Hags. Formed in San Francisco in 1985, the band quickly built a sizable following thanks, in part, to early gigs with the likes of Motorhead, the Ramones and the Cramps. They also made a good impression on several respected members within the music community. Metallica’s Kirk Hammet and Ian Astbury of the Cult offered their help to the band in those early days. In 1987, the band signed with Chrysalis Records who released their critically acclaimed debut the following year. Even with high-profile tours however, the record failed to click with buyers. Internal problems forced the band to break up in 1990. On February 11, 1991, Chris Schlosshardt was found dead of pneumonia. He was 26.

Thanks for clarifying.
Chris had the face of an angel and was a lovely person. I worked at several music clubs in SF and was a Sea Hags fan. We always had a crush on each other and went on a few dates, once for a picnic at the Golden Gate Bridge gardens. We saw Johnny Thunders too. Last time we spoke he was hanging out with Brad a very sensible friend who was helping Chris get healthy and eat right etc. He sounded as like he was enjoying himself and teased me and made some jokes. ever, tho tired. I was heartbroken when he died. It seems thst God or Whoever needs to be surrounded by the finest people that's the only reason to take a beautiful funny sweetheart like Chris. Miss you. XO
