We were saddened to hear about the death of Jeffery Davis, aka Jef Leppard, guitarist for the hardcore band Voetsek, former member of STFU, sound man at Oakland Metro Operahouse, recording engineer at Lennon Studios, and beloved member of the Bay Area punk scene. He was killed Sunday evening after his motorcycle hit a gray Audi in San Francisco’s Richmond district, SF Appeal reports. Davis’ wife Nikki had been sitting behind him on the motorcycle. When it struck the Audi at the intersection of Fulton Street and 30th Avenue she was ejected and critically injured.
According to blog posts from close friends she remains in the ICU at SF General Hospital, where she is able to communicate through sign language and written notes. Nikki incurred several broken bones and internal injuries, but she appears to be lucid and even managed to flip the bird to a petulant relative.
