Converge, Mutoid Man, Killer Be Killed, etc. drummer Ben Koller and his family suffered a personal tragedy last week. Their family dog Edie was diagnosed with a tumor in her small intestine and fundraising was launched to help afford the over $10,000 surgery to get it removed. While the family decided to go ahead with the surgery, several other tumors were found during the procedure, ultimately leading to the beloved dog’s untimely passing.
The Koller family are now seeking help with the costs associated with the surgery, with two benefit initiatives having been launched. Koller commented:
If anyone still wants to donate to this crazy hospital bill you can do so with https://t.co/hlIRBpw8uX or Venmo @ Benjamin-Koller ????

As for the benefit options, Terrier Cvlt have launched this ‘Jane Dog’ merch line to benefit the family. Likewise, the ‘Two Minutes To Late Night‘ camp have also released a remastered cover of Miley Cyrus‘ “Wrecking Ball” which Mutoid Man and Royal Thunder‘s Mlny Parsonz performed together. You can find that at Bandcamp until 12am PDT tonight, February 15th.
