Josh Burdette, manager of Washington D.C.’s 9:30 Club, has been found dead from a suspected suicide. He was 36-years old.

Burdette was a 340-pound, six foot, tattooed man who stood out at his venue but was the complete opposite of a person to what his image suggested. Club owner Seth Hurwitz said in a statement to consequenceofsound.net, “there was the fantastic joke that people that didn’t know him fell for every time. Here was this scary looking dude that was a complete contradiction of his appearance. I think everyone felt a little ashamed and learned from that”.

Over the years, 9:30 Club has been the venue for choice for acts like Radiohead and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Australia’s Empire of the Sun and Alpine are scheduled to perform at the club tonight.

Today Public Enemy’s Chuck D. posted via Twitter:
