All 3 died within the past week or so.
I wrote this piece about all 3 of them, with one video of each of their
bands in action:

PS. If you're not familiar with Lance Hahn of J Church, he was a punk
music journalist, wrote for Maximum Rock n' Roll for almost 20 years,
was in the 80s punk band Cringer and started J-Church in 1992, in San
Fran, but relocated to Austin; the band and Hahn was extremely prolific,
all the while writing columns for Maximum Rock 'n Roll. Info on J Church
here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_Church_%28band%29
They were an Austin punk institution, where I live, and Hahn's death, at
age 40, has been big local news. J Church also have a MySpace page:
