This is fucked up. He was attacked by 5 teenagers only a block from his house.

EDIT:

Update - 7/25/07 - John has made it home and is recuperating under the tender loving care of his wife, Mika. The surgery was successful. John is now the proud owner of 5 or 6 titanium metal plates shoring up his “zygomatic tripod” bones (around the eye orbit) and his upper jaw. A screw under his right eye. A leather splint over his nose. And temporary braces readjusting his teeth. John was fortunate to not have his jaw wired shut, however, this will be reevaluated within the next week, and he will be on a liquid diet for several weeks to come.

I'm gonna see about possibly doing a small benefit show down here.

Late August or something. GI was one of the longest running DC Hardcore bands, and at a time had such names as Brian Baker from Minor Threat and Mike Fellows of Rites of Spring in its ranks. These guys helped shape USHC.

48 views and no replies...sad. very sad. Aside from the fact that I know most of y'all have never even heard of this band which makes things worse.

The least you could say is, "wow, that sucks. I hope he gets better."
