Halifax lost a wonderful, honest and enthusiastic person when Alex Fountain passed away on Saturday night, at age 20. Fountain was a staple at shows, standing right up front, pumping his fist in the air with a huge grin on his face. Aside from his immeasurable contributions to the Halifax music scene, (Fountain played in The Handcar Race, Empathy Takes Energy, Take On Me and worked for the Pop Explosion as a summer student for the last two summers), he was an all-around thoughtful and sweet person, who was a friend to anyone who came up and talked to him, with never a bad word to say about anyone. He will be missed greatly, and the community won't be the same without him.
Please join Alex's friends tonight at the Pavilion at 6pm.
