Lit drummer Allen Shellenberger dead at 39 By Alex Young on August 14th, 2009
Allen Shellenberger, founding member and drummer of the band Lit, lost his battle with brain cancer yesterday. He was 39-years-old. In May of 2008, the California native was diagnosed with a malignant glioma brain tumor and immediately underwent clinical trials, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments at the Cedars-Sinai Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute.
Shellenberger had been a member of Lit for nearly two decades and had been performing with the band until last fall.
He is survived by his daughter Giovanna Mackey, his mother Connie James, and his father Paul Shellenberge
If you don't think you know some of his songs:

How about just telling us what some of his songs were...
whatever.
Never heard of them.
That is a really distasteful response for a human being who passed away after a long battle with brain cancer. You should be so lucky not to have to go through that.
Bummer. My band will be playing “My Own Worst Enemy” tomorrow night in his honor.
RIP.
One of the best riffs of all time!
