We have spent the last few days trying to find the right way to say this, and there probably isn’t one. Mason Keene was our friend, our bandmate, and one of the people who helped make Bad Reception what it is. Losing him has left all of us trying to process something that still does not feel real. We want to thank everyone who has reached out, offered support, or simply given us space since Sunday night. More importantly, we want to extend our deepest condolences to Mason’s family. They have lost a son, a relative, and someone they loved long before he was ever part of this band, and our thoughts are with them above everything else. We are not going to comment further on the circumstances of the accident while the investigation is ongoing. We ask that people avoid speculation and respect the privacy of Mason’s family during this time. Mason’s funeral will be held Friday, October 12. The service will be open to the public. We know a lot of people cared about Mason and will want the opportunity to say goodbye. We ask everyone attending to be respectful of his family and of one another. Thank you for remembering Mason and for giving all of us time to grieve. — Riley, Jace, Nico and Evan
