Kim Shattuck RIP

Through mutual friends and fellow musicians, I have found out the devastating news that the wonderful Kim Shattuck, of The Muffs, The Pandoras, The Pixies and The Coolies, passed away this morning at 56, of ALS. Shocked and saddened beyond belief.

 

Very sad news.

 

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your musician friend Kim Shattuck. ALS is a terrible disease. I hope she is at peace now. Condolences to her family, friends and band mates. RIP

 

RIP indeed. ALS Just needs to go away and never come back.

 

So sad. Such a great artist. Always in a good mood.

 

Stunned and saddened. Didn't know she was ill. Played the Muffs debut constantly back in the day.


Kim Shattuck of The Muffs, rest in peace

 

I didn't know either.

 

That's some unhappy, and utterly unexpected, news. Loved the early Muffs.

Thanks for mentioning The Coolies -- hadn't been aware of that project, and the Bandcamp page notes that 100% of profits {from the vinyl release] will be donated to The ALS Association Golden West Chapter. Ordered.

 

I’m very sad to hear this, I didn’t know she was ill. ALS is a terrible disease, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

 

Dang.

 

Stunned, wow...didn't know she had ALS or was in any way sick. Love the first couple Muffs albums, absolute classics! RIP. Damn.

 

RIP, totally out of left field.

 

RIP Kim.

 

I'm completely gutted. Seen the Muffs dozens and dozens and dozens of times.

 

Awful news. I had no idea she was ill.

 

Oh my God. Just shocked. So terribly sad.

 

That is terrible. She was so talented and always seemed like such a super cool person. RIP

 

Very sad to hear. My friends and I were major Pandoras/Muffs fans back in the day, and went to all their San Jose shows.
Here's a nice memory of Kim and I chatting after a Muffs show at Marsugi's in San Jose, RIP.

 

Sad to hear this, especially for her to have died from ALS, awful awful way to go.

 

Awful news. Only got to see The Muffs once, but it was a real treat.

 

Too young, and too horrible a way to die.

RIP Kim. Your smile was contagious...

 

Rest easy Kim.

 

Very sad news. A wonderful talent felled too young by a terrible disease. RIP

 

RIP

 

Wow, I had no idea she was ill, that's such an awful, awful disease. Very sad.
