Ken “Dimwit” Montgomery
1958 – September 27, 1994
Dimwit was the drummer for Vancouver hardcore punk band, D.O.A. in the late ’70s and early ’80s. They are often referred to as the founders of hardcore. In 1989, he helped form the Four Horsemen, a band that had more in common with the Cult and Zodiac Mindwarp than Black Flag or the Exploited. The Four Horsemen landed a deal with Rick Rubin’s Def American who released their Rubin produced Nobody Said It Was Easy in 1991. Although the band were poised for greatness, grunge soon hit and the band was left in its wake. Dimwit died of a heroin overdose on September 27, 1994.
