Benefit Concert For SOLACE Drummer To Be Held This Month

December 11, 2004

New Jersey's SOLACE, one of the premier doom bands, were dealt a near-fatal blow when their drummer, Kenny Lund, was diagnosed with cancer this past spring. The band had every intention of following up on the success of last year's "13" (MeteorCity),having played to unanimous raves at 2004's Emissions from the Monolith and Stoner Hands of Doom festivals, and releasing a split CD with Albany's GREATDAYFORUP. But with Kenny going in for treatment, the band's plans were put on hold.

While it's fortunate that Kenny's recovering quicker than expected, there are still a considerable amount of medical bills involved. As such, friends of SOLACE are getting together to help raise money. The StonerRock.com-sponsored "Kennefit" is an all-day show in New York City, taking place at both the Pyramid and at the legendary CBGBs on Saturday, December 18, 2004.

The line-up is as follows:

Pyramid ($5.00, doors: 2:00 pm)
