Soundgarden are reuniting for charity.
Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd will be joined by Seattle singer Shania Shepherd (who is no relation to Ben) filling the shoes of the late Chris Cornell.
They'll do a brief set under the name Nude Dragons at the SMooCH benefit for Seattle Children’s Hospital at The Showbox in Seattle on December 14th. Previously announced acts include Duff McKagan and Sebadoh.
The Showbox is where Soundgarden played their first reunion show in 2010, after being split up since 1997. The last time Thayil, Cameron and Shepherd played together in public was the I Am the Highway tribute show in January 2019.
