Edmonton Metal Community Comes Together To Remember
and Raise Funds For Michelle Robinson Memorial Concert

August 5th @ Rendezvous w/ Quietus, Kryosphere (one night only reunion), Display of Decay

Michelle Robinson was a fan of the Edmonton metal scene, supporting many local bands over the years and bringing a smile to all those she touched. Suffering from kidney failure, living on and off dialysis to finally receiving a kidney transplant that allowed her to live for nearly 20 years because someone gave her the gift of life, she helped motivate a community to stay strong. Unfortunately her battle came to end this year on June 2nd and now her friends, family and fans want to encourage the public on the importance of organ donation.

On August 5th at Rendezvous, some of Michelle’s favourite Edmonton metal bands will be getting on stage to raise awareness about organ donation and signing you donor cards. Whether you knew her or not, this will be a show you will not want to miss as Quietus and Display of Decay will be playing alongside the reunion of Kryosphere for an evening to celebrate her life and influence on the extreme music community.

The memorial show will also aid in raising funds to publish 100 copies of a book Michelle had written about her life and the struggles of her kidney issues. The book features her personal thoughts along with images to give a true insight of what is was like to live in her shoes from moments of suffering to moments of strength and overall…the life she celebrated with friends and family.
