Shocked and saddened by the news of Goner OG Sarah Underhill / Danger’s passing yesterday. Sarah created the fabulous intersection where glam/weird Baltimore electrified Memphis. She had a Goner tattoo, loved the Reatards and Louie and all the bands early on, and became an intrinsic part of the Goner family over the past decade and a half . Although she was (usually) in the audience, she outshone all the performers with her intense presence and fantastic style.. We had her MC Gonerfest 16- which she did even though she had broken her foot during an insane ultra-late Mallwalker gig at the Lamplighter the night before. She was legendary. She was not afraid to stand out, not going to take any bullshit from anyone, and was fiercely loyal to friends and beloved bands. Sarah has been as big a part of Gonerfest as anyone, someone who everyone looked forward to hanging out with at the end of September. To say she will be missed is an understatement. There is a huge hole where our outlandish and kind friend from Baltimore should be. We will carry her in our hearts, and hope to be as tough and so fearlessly, epically alive as she was.
