Sky died of heart & kidney failure, due to an undiagnosed infection of his internal organs. He passed peacefully with his wife Sabrina Smith Saxon & his spiritual brother in YaHoWha Joshua Aquarian by his side. He died, in his words, at the age of \"eternal\".
SKY SUNLIGHT SAXON, fell ill as early as Thursday, June 18th in his new home in Austin. Despite feeling under the weather Saturday, he performed a short set of SEEDS classics at the local night club Antone’s with his local collective WORLD SPIRITS, his favorite local Austin band SHAPES HAVE FANGS. After continuing illness, he was rushed to St David’s South Austin Hospital Monday morning & was immediately placed in ICU. He remained in critical condition in ICU until his passing several days later. Sky & his wife Sabrina recently moved to Austin, following his exciting headlining performance at the Austin Psych Fest #2 in March. Several tours were scheduled, including the East Coast/Mid-West tour in August with the California Revue, with members of LOVE & THE ELECTRIC PRUNES. The tour will still continue despite his absence.

thanks for the zip file. and i thought the new song was alright as a one off thing. it seemed upbeat. not Billy at his best, but i liked it none the less. i’m just glad to hear something new and to see Billy back out there.
i don’t think the kid drummer is anything to write home about though. proficient or can keep somewhat of a beat does not equal Jimmy.
-
well i thought the music sounded cool but i was disappointed that billy’s microphone needed to be turned up or something, his guitar was drowning out his voice! but from what i can hear it sounds good!
… thankfully it just seems to be on that one vid that i couldn’t hear billy! i am listening to the download now, the new song sounds great!!
-
alright I will say that his vocals are drowned out like rose said, was hoping that the recording would sound better than the youtube
But hey at least we got to hear something now instead of nothing. And I liked the song it’s sounds damn good, but as we know when he has his full SP band it will sound better. Give Mike a chance it wasn’t like a pounding session of a song and it was his first performance. I think he’ll be just fine 
Billy wouldn’t just chose any old random person ya know0he must see something in him
I’m ready for more -

i finally had some time to hear these songs. i dug em. 900 million people was chill. and the billy song is great. way catchy. i had to listen to it more than once. it sounds like a song you hear near the end of a cheezy high school kid movie where the guy and girl finally work it out and they’re at the dance and everything turns out great cuz he tells her it was all just a misunderstanding and that he loves her. roll credits. from as rome burns, to this new track. you have to fucking love how he covers the spectrum. i think i’ve said that before somewhere else. and definately some peace+love chord sounding structure in the new song, as the comments on hu were saying. it’s just played at slower tempo and electric. and i love the little solo parts during the transitions.
i wish i had gone. the echoplex really is a tight little place.
