Births on October 5

Audie Pitre, American singer and bass player (d. 1997)

Audie Thomas Pitre (October 5, 1970 – January 23, 1997) was an American bass guitarist. He also added back-up vocals in Acid Bath (1991–1997) and formed another band known as Shrüm (or simply SHRUM) (1995). Pitre formed Shrüm with the idea to have two bass players, himself and Joseph J. Fontenot, to create a heavy, low-end bass sound with Tomas Viator on electronic drums and Scott Leger on vocals. Shrüm's only album to date is Red Devils & Purple Ringers.

In January 1997, Audie Pitre and his parents, Nora and Kermit, were killed when they were hit head-on by a drunk driver on the Bourg-Larose Highway in Louisiana. His brother, Kelly Pitre, was also in the car and survived the crash. The driver was convicted of three counts of vehicular homicide. Audie is survived by his son, Audie Layne, born July 1997.After Pitre’s death Acid Bath played their last show on April 25th, 1997 with Joseph Fontenot on bass and Jeromy Boullion from the band "Choke" filling in for Mike Sanchez on guitar. They played their last show at the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium. Crowbar, Floodgate, and one other unknown band played the show as well.
