News / Merch / #1 Fan Want to Own the Built to Spill Keep It Like A Secret Hand-Painted Backdrop?

Posted by Megan Seling on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 4:56 PM

Now you can! That iconic album cover, hand painted as 10'x10' backdrop and used on Built to Spill's 1999 tour is just one of the several items now up for auction to benefit the Susie Tennant Fund.

Last year Susie, a kick ass lady who's spent decades in the music community and is partially credited with helping Nirvana become Nirvana, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She has since undergone surgery and agressive chemotherapy treatments, and her friends in the music industry continue to show their support by raising money to help her and her family pay for the insanely expensive medical treatments.

The first round of fundraising included a guitar signed by Pearl Jam, rare Nirvana merch, and more. This time they've got that awesome BTS backdrop, a collection of signed Jeff Jeff Kleinsmith posters, framed Charles Peterson photographs, Sasquatch tickets, Derek Erdman paintings, limited edition Sub Pop vinyl, and more things you probably want.

See all the items (and bid!) here. You can also donate via check or PayPal here.
