Tim Mrak, the colorful frontman of San Antonio rock band the Psychoholics, has died

Tim Mrak, the longtime frontman and songwriter behind San Antonio rock band the Psychoholics, died this week at age 58, following a lengthy battle with kidney disease. Friends described Mrak — who led the Psychoholics for roughly 30 years — as a tireless creative force and a beloved underdog in the local music scene. The band specialized in a catchy and energetic power-pop, and its live shows were known for silly spectacle including members performing in animal costumes and Mrak strafing the audience with a homemade gun that fired fake eyeballs.
