Unearth will play a benefit show in February for former bass player Chris “Rover” Rybicki, who was killed by an alleged drunk driver in September. The band released the following statement:
“Our first gig of 2011 will be a benefit show for our former bass player Chris ‘Rover’ Rybicki, who tragically lost his life at the hands of an alleged drunk driver this past September. We will be playing alongside another one of Rover’s former bands, NO CHOICE, as well as our friends in SCREAMS OF ERIDA and GASKET. All proceeds will go directly to the Rybicki family. Come down to one of our old stomping grounds to celebrate the life of our longtime friend as well as helping out the family he left behind. R.I.P., Rover.” The concert will take place February 19 at Saint Michaels Hall in Lynn, Massachusetts. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets are just $10 and only available at the door.”
