Sean McDonnell
DOB Unknown – January 18, 1995
Sean McDonnell was the lead singer for New York City based post-hardcore band, Surgery. In 1991, the band was signed to indie stalwarts, Amphetamine Reptile Records who released their debut, Nationwide. In 1994, when it seemed like any band that wore flannel shirts was getting noticed by major labels, Surgery was picked up by Atlantic Records. That following January, Sean McDonnell died from complications of asthma.
Loved Sean and Surgery…his death and the subsequent disbanding of the group was a major blow to hard-rockin’, guitar-chooglin’ lovers world-wide!
Thanks for leaving your kind words, Lee!

When I met Sean, I was 26, at Emo’s in Houston. Soon after we met he invited me to Austin, for a show at Emo’s obviously there. The thing that always stuck with me for them as a group…..out of nowhere I’m playing pool…kinda not paying attention…kinda drunk…next thing thing I know Sean grabs my pool stick, pushes me aside, rakes the the pool stick across the table and say’s ….”What the fuck did you just say to her?”…..the guy just stood there..everyone else followed Seans lead…I’ve never had so many guys have my back…They were nothing short of BAD ASS….Thank You Scott especially.
By push I meant….”did you hear what that guy just said?”
