Documentary About Late SNOT Singer LYNN STRAIT In The Works

During an appearance on the latest episode of the “Nu Pod” podcast with hosts Joshua Toomey and Ro Kohli, SNOT guitarist Mikey Doling revealed that there are plans to make a documentary about the band’s late singer Lynn Strait. He said: “There’s a director who reached out to us — reached out to me. And then Shavo‘s [Odadjian, SYSTEM OF A DOWN bassist] also involved… We’re actually working on stuff now; we’ve actually started some interviews. We started with his family first — sisters, mother. Even the director has already flown back to New York and met with Lynn‘s family from back in New York — his aunts, uncles, cousins. So we’ve actually started [filming].”

According to the Los Angeles Times, Lynn died in died in a car accident in December 1998 as he attempted to drive across Highway 101 in Mussel Shoals, California. The 30-year-old singer died instantly after his 1992 Ford Tempo was broadsided by a southbound full-size pickup truck about noon. Also killed was Strait‘s small bulldog, SNOT‘s mascot Dobbs, who adorned the cover of the band’s debut album, the 1997 Geffen Records release “Get Some”. Strait, a Santa Barbara resident, was crossing the highway after visiting his girlfriend in the community. Lynn apparently pulled into the path of the truck, which was going about 65 mph. The impact sent Strait‘s car spinning into the center divider where it stopped, a California Highway Patrol officer told the Los Angeles Times at the time.
