Kendall Chinn, aka Chi Pig, of Canada’s SNFU has passed away at age 57. The news was confirmed by bassist Dave Bacon via his Facebook page.
Chi Pig was one of the founding members of SNFU and was the sole-remaining original member throughout the band’s nearly 40-year history (minus hiatuses). The band most recent recently announced that their 1988 album Better than a Stick in the Eye will be receiving a limited-edition remaster by Chase The Glory Records which is due to ship around September 20th).
Our thoughts go out to Kendall’s family, friends, and fans.
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
