Huddersfield thrashers Evile will host two benefit shows - headlined by Irish thrashers Gama Bomb - to raise money for the family of bassist Mike Alexander, who sadly passed away on October 5 while they were on tour in Sweden with Amon Amarth and Entombed.
The band are holding a raffle too. Among the loot kindly donated by bands are Megadeth guitar gear, Iron Maiden ‘Eddie’s Evil Brew’ beer, signed Metallica swag, and a guitar custom-made for Gary Holt of Exodus. In addition, there will be an auction for a guitar owned and used by Phil Demmel of Machine Head.
The full list of prizes can be seen on the Mike Alexander website.
The dates of the memorial shows are as follows:
December
07 Leeds, Rios
08 London, Camden Underworld
Tickets are available from the Mike Alexander website, and at the memorial gigs next week, featuring Gama Bomb, Mutant and Seregon. All money raised will be donated to Mike’s family.
Damn. Best live band SHOULD have been Green D
