David Surkamp, frontman for the long-running progressive-rock band Pavlov’s Dog, has died at age 73, according to a social media post on the band’s social media accounts. No cause of death was announced.

While the band, which formed in St. Louis in the early 1970s, was not and arena-filling progressive rock group like Yes, Genesis and Emerson Lake & Palmer, they enjoyed a long career and a fervent fan base. Their at-times symphonic sound included violin and flute, and Surkamp’s high voice put them in a similar category as Yes.
