Michael Davis of MC5 passed away over the weekend.
The bassist, who was part of the seminal Kick Out The Jams album of 1969, died of liver failure at the age of 68. Davis left the band in 1972 but recently rejoined them whilst continuing to work on his art career which included working with OBEY.
It’s now been over 8 years since the last authorized screening of the MC5 – A True Testimonial documentary at the Detroit Film Theatre on October 30, 2003.
In that time, all the alleged ‘copyright infringement’ claims made against David Thomas, Laurel Legler and Future/Now Films have been thoroughly litigated, found to be without merit and the film has reportedly been cleared for released, once the various music licenses are secured.
