On Friday August 10 there will be a benefit concert at the Velvet Lounge in Washington DC to raise funds for John Stabb, the former singer of Government Issue and Factory Incident, who was assaulted near his home in suburban DC. John's injuries required surgery that his insurance company apparently doesn't feel it is responsible for.

The Benefit show will feature: Dave Smalley (ex-Dag Nasty/Down By Law), Marc Ganancias , The Saviors, Pup Tent , Lorelei (Slumberland), Jerry Busher (of Fugazi / French Toast/ All Scars)

There is also an Ebay Auction currently in progress which features items donated to raise money for John's medical fund.
