On Thursday, August 19th, Allen Shellenberger, drummer for the band lit, lost his lengthy battle with brain cancer at the age of 39. His last show was a tribute benefit for health care in July where he courageously played six songs before relinquishing drum duties to Adrian Young of No Doubt as a friendly gesture to a fellow Orange County band member and friend. Schellenberger and his band mates are responsible for some of the biggest songs in the late nineties that weren’t Nu-metal or boy band pop. Hits like “My Own Worst Enemy” and “Zip-Lock” were staples on alternative-radio and heavy on MTV rotation (They still kind of played music then). They were even joined in video by the star of the smash hit television program VIP, Pamela Anderson, for the song ‘Miserable”. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge their accolades and think about how many times you have heard one of their songs in a preview for a zany bro-comedy about boobs.
