That's too bad. Mike was a great in Fuel and Pinhead Gunpowder. I had no idea he transitioned, and I'm sorry to hear she has died.

Wow. So sad. That was my punk rock youth there, growing up in the Bay Area.

Such a monumental figure in punk over the last 20 years. This is really sad.

Sad news. I wish she had had more time, much more time. Fanconi's Anemia sounds like a tough disease.

Well this is a punch in the gut. I met Sarah a couple of times and she was always totally cool.

Anybody familiar with my username knows how much I love Dillinger Four, but Pinhead Gunpowder has the best song on their split.

I first heard Pinhead Gunpowder on the Dillinger Four split Doublewhiskeycokenoice mentions above. Never had the chance to see them live.

It sucks to see someone with so much to say and such courage to say it taken from us.

I'll take any excuse to remind the world of the Skinflutes, though I really wish it wasn't under these circumstances.

Her passing is a pretty significant loss to the Bay Area punk community. I'm bummed.
