Today we drive to Washington DC to attend the John Stabb benefit at the Rock and Roll Hotel on Sunday, September 23. Stabb, who was the lead singer in Government Issue, was brutally assaulted last July while walking home. This senseless act of violence left him with a huge pile of medical bills and a bunch of metal in his face.
Government Issue was a part of the DC hardcore scene in the early 1980s, with releases on Dischord, among other labels. The band continued to play, with Stabb as the only continuing member, until 1989.
On Sunday, William will be playing drums behind Stabb for "Government Re-Issue," along with Tom Lyle, and Brian Baker.
