We received word from Calvin Lecompte today that the guitar player for his group Tough Knuckles, Ariel Panero, died last night. Many New York City show-goers may also know Panero as the driving force behind versatile venue Less Artists More Condos. "The Lonely Island," an swirling guitar song, Lecompte says, is the last track Panero recorded. Best wishes to his friends and family.
