The Muffs "Whoop Dee Doo" 2014

While Shattuck seemed busier than she had been in ages, this flurry of activity hid a grim secret. Shattuck's family had a history of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and after she began having trouble controlling her hands, she was diagnosed in October 2017...
...As she began losing control of her body, she was determined to complete one last Muffs album, using a set of songs she had written and recorded as demos between 1991 and 2017. She continued playing guitar as long as she was able, and once she no longer could, she provided direction and support to Barnett and McDonald. The trio was also helped out by Adam Schary (who Shattuck picked to play her guitar parts), Kristian Hoffman and Melanie Vammen (who both contributed keyboards), and Karen Basset (a fellow ex-Pandora who also engineered the sessions at Shattuck's home). Sadly, Shattuck wouldn't live to see the album released, dying in her sleep on October 2, 2019, a few weeks before Omnivore Recordings released No Holiday. - Biography by Mark Deming

A terrible loss, such a talented person. Here is Kim's album with The Beards. I added a track from a Blondie tribute.
