Remembering Charlie of 𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 on his first Heavenly Birthday (𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟓, 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟏) 💔

Charles David Eddy (Charlie Don’t)

Charlie lost his valiant fight against a Grade 4 Glioblastoma, the most aggressive type of brain tumor, back on December 23rd, 2025.

Here are a few snaps of him from better days and a video of their debut album release show here at Cactus back in October 2024. Sending out love to his partner and bandmate Lauren, his family, friends, and the local music scene, which was left with a huge hole with his passing.

“They’re taking their darker musical tendencies from the past and really pushing them forward, building songs on synthetic beats and Charlie’s distorted riff work, creating this dense brand of dark pop.”⠀

“Using the hazy dream-pop of beloved indie band El Lago as a sort of backdrop, Raudiver adds an electronic sheen that is both more trance-like and harder-edged.”⠀

“It’s a retro sound sure to please devotees of 4AD’s golden age.”⠀
