The Perfect Face For Radio reports the following:
"Yesterday around lunch time Doug Meis, the drummer for Exo and the Dials; John Glick, the guitarist for the Returnables; and Michael Dahlquist, the drummer for Silkworm all died in a car accident in Skokie. They were coming back to work from lunch and were hit by someone speeding while talking on a cell phone (which is now illegal in Chicago)."

Can anyone confirm this?

There's a nondescript article in the Tribune online blotter about an accident matching the time and date. two reported gone, four hospitalized.
no names were given, yet.

Here is the text from the article:
Chain-reaction crash kills 2 people and injures 4
Published July 15, 2005
SKOKIE -- Two people died and four were injured Thursday afternoon in a three-car crash in Skokie, police said.
Two cars going east were stopped at a red light at Dempster Street and Niles Center Road about 12:20 p.m. when the driver of a third car struck the rear of the second vehicle and pushed it into the other car, said Sgt. Scott Anderson.
Anderson said police are withholding the names of the people killed until their families are notified. He said the injured victims were taken to hospitals and their conditions were not available.
"We're trying to determine what happened," Anderson said.
Damn...

I saw footage of that accident on TV repeatedly yesterday. 2 of the cars were on their roofs (which I think were sitting at a light when they were struck).
Where did the blog people get their info???

Hey everybody,
I hate to tell you this is true.
I will leave it to others to fill in any details for now. Certainly, I encourage you to do so.
Love,
Tim/SKWM

The only thing to say is this is so very sad.... well there are probably other things to say, but all I can think is what an awful thing to happen. I'm very sorry.

This says all three were killed. This Chicago Tribune story says 4 injured, two killed...

For those unawares, Michael was
one of ours. A completely kind, friendly and good natured man.
sorry I keep posting, I can't stop thinking about it, though.

I was afraid it was true. The blogger is an acquaintance of mine and I highly doubt that she would post such a thing without the proper fact checking.
This is very, very sad and I extend my condolences to all concerned.
