Goerie.com has issued the following report:
Henrik Ostergaard, the gravel-voiced founder and leader of internationally known hard-rock band Dirty Looks, died today. He was 47.
Erie County Coroner Lyle Cook said Ostergaard died of natural causes at 9:18 AM, while under hospice care.
"I'm deeply saddened by the news of Henrik's passing," said Jack Pyers, who played bass on numerous Dirty Looks' albums. "I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to work with and share some significant achievements with Henrik."He is and will certainly always be in my thoughts and close to my heart. So, my deepest respect to Henrik as a friend, father, husband and one of the best (expletive deleted) rock 'n roll singers that ever was."
Dirty Looks emerged in 1984 like a high-energy, long-haired American equivalent of AC/DC, playing ferocious, hook-heavy songs. 'Oh, Ruby', from their second independent album, earned widespread airplay on rock stations and led to the band signing with Atlantic Records.
