Asbestos Records to Release Infamous Jake LP
When I was in high school, Infamous Jake & the Pinstripe Mafia was one of the best young punk-ska bands in southern New England. These kids rocked it out with NYC's The Toasters and Boston's Big D and the Kids Table in venues like the Flywheel in Easthampton, MA; the Pearl Street in Northampton, MA; and the Wallingford Knights of Columbus hall in CT. Shortly before disbanding, the group released a seven-song CD entitled This Is The Begining of the End [sic] on Kill Normal Records.
You can read more about Dan and his recovery, and make a donation toward his medical expenses, here on his Caring Bridge page.
Now, more than eight years after the record's release, CT's Asbestos Records is giving the group the recognition it deserves. They are raising funds to issue This is the Begining on vinyl. The small record label is looking to raise $1,800 by December 13th, 2011, and has launched a Kickstarter campaign to do so. Proceeds from the sale of the record will go to help the Lang-Gunn family with expenses related to Dan's recovery.
Please consider making a small donation to support this project. In addition to supporting Dan, your donation will help preserve Infamous Jake's music for decades to come.
Lead singer and trumpet player Dan Lang-Gunn went on to form The Modern Day Saint. In 2004, Lang-Gunn experienced a cardiac arrhythmia and collapsed on stage while performing with his band. Then a freshman at Northeastern University, Lang-Gunn was forced to put aside his education and musical endeavors as he began to recover from his brain injury, which resulted from lack of oxygen during his accident.
