Daddy's Hands (band)

In 1996, the band released two demo tapes, a self-titled debut and Intelligent and Powerful. In 2000 they released a full album, Tutankhamun and a four-song EP in 2002 entitled Ghost in the Bong. Daddy's Hands' original lineup was intact until 2002 when Bauslaugh died of a drug overdose in her Montreal apartment.^[6] After Bauslaugh's death, Wenger's life took a downward turn and he started drinking more heavily.^[6] In May 2005, Wenger, the remaining members of the original lineup, and two new members began recording the band's last album, Welcome Kings. Before the album was released, Wenger was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Montreal on November 23, 2006.^[7] Welcome Kings was released posthumously in July 2007.^[8][9]
