I'm sorry if this is a repeat thread but I didnt see it on here but


Lynette Knackstedt, guitarist of the Canadian band Skankin' Pickle died on December 7, 2007. The following was pulled from punknews.org who pulled it from Mike Park's newsletter.


Lynette Knackstedt passed away on Friday, December 7th, 2008. We went to middle school, high school, and spent 7 of our adult years together in Skankin' Pickle. She was only 37 years old.

I first heard pickle my junior year of high school and I've been a fan of them ever since...she was too young to go. First Dave from Hepcat now this....
