<\/div>\n

The Coolies have announced a third pressing of their debut benefit EP, Uh Oh! It\u2019s\u2026 The Coolies<\/em> in honor of their late bandmate Kim Shattuck, who died<\/a> from complications from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) last week.<\/p>\n

The Muffs cofounder, singer and guitarist Shattuck teamed with Melanie Vammen, Shattuck\u2019s former bandmate in the Pandoras and the Muffs, and Palmyra Delran to form the Coolies and they released their debut EP earlier this year, with proceeds benefitting the ALS Association Golden West Chapter. Their first two pressings, which were on 10-inch green vinyl, sold out quickly. In tribute to the late Shattuck and her battle with the disease, the third pressing will be released on red vinyl with all proceeds again being donated to the ALS chapter. The new vinyl run is available for preorder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The six-song EP comprises some of Shattuck\u2019s final recordings, which she wrote, with Vammen cowriting \u201cIgnoramus,\u201d and Delran collaborating on \u201cBlueberry Crumble.\u201d While Shattuck did not reveal her own diagnosis, she discussed the impetus behind the Coolies EP proceeds donation in recent interviews. \u201cIt runs in my dad\u2019s side of the family and it is so sad to watch it hit a great deal of my family members,\u201d she told the Prelude Press<\/a>. In an interview with Vents magazine<\/a>, she added that the \u201cdisease is a mystery to just about every scientist! We are definitely interested in finding a cure for ALS! Cure it already!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly touched and grateful to see all the beautiful memories, tributes and photos of Kim that have been shared. We\u2019re also super proud of the Coolies project that the three of us worked on together, along with the Wicked Cool Records team,\u201d bandmates Vammen and Delran said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve received overwhelming requests for more copies of the vinyl EP that was released in July, which has sold out two pressings. Since then, 100% of the proceeds have been donated to The ALS Association Golden West Chapter, totaling close to $10,000. There will now be a third pressing on the way, and we\u2019re looking forward to raising even more money for research for treatments and a cure for ALS. Thank you to all who donated.\u201d<\/p>\n
