Dance-Punk band Late of the Pier's drummer Ross Dawson has died from a sudden and tragic accident. The record label Parlophone has confirmed his death. Ross had a sudden and tragic accident on Friday May 15th, 2015.

Miles Leonard (chairman of Warner Bros. Records and Parlophone) stated that,
"Late Of The Pier were one of the most original, innovative and exciting artists I’ve ever worked with. Ahead of their time but with such a youthful outlook in both music and life. Although our time working together was relatively short, I shall remember Ross with great fondness and as a bright, personable and warm character. Sadly we have all lost a talented musician but his music will be with us forever. Our sincere condolences go to his friends and family."

Late of the Pier only released one album called Fantasy Black Channel in 2008. While releasing two EPs called "Echoclistel Lambietroy" and "Remixes"

They had a decent amount of popularity in the uk with their singles back in 2007/2008 then they broke up (tho i think it was a hiatus) and sorta faded from everyones memory

Definetely worth a check btw
