Brendan Majewski
December 9, 1973 – January 20, 2011
Brendan Majewski was an artist and musician who is perhaps best remembered as the bassist for Washington DC area art-punk band, Quix*o*tic. Playing with band from 1998 to 2001, Majewski helped the band break out of the DC underground scene thanks in part to their self-released album, Night For Day. Along the way, they made fans out of such alternative rock icons as Sonic Youth and Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder. After he left Quix*o*tic, Majewski formed the critically acclaimed Orphan as an outlet for his music and visual art. Brendan Majewski took his own life on January 20, 2011. He was 37.
