In September 2009, Elise Sunderhuse of O’Fallon, Missouri, died in a car accident . Her friends and family turned to Facebook for support, and also
reached out to local bands to try to put together a memorial concert. What emerged is the April 12 show at the Firebird with Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt, The Show is the Rainbow, the Shakes and Emperor X .
The latter project’s founder/sole member, Chad Matheny , is spearheading the night. He’s making a memorial EP about the events, which is due to be released here . And so this April show will function as a “tape release show” — in fact, the first twenty people receive a free tape and digital download — and as a tribute to Sunderhuse’s life. In addition, Matheny will donate half of what he makes at the door to her family. Tickets are $8 and are on sale now.
