Last spring I found this guitar at my dad’s house and shot a little imrov’ sunset raga thingy… It’s long!!!

The Olympia house that Ben Kapp lived in went up in flames early this past Monday morning. Ben and his housemates (Kevin, Jonah, Justin, and Richie) escaped without harm, but the house and everything in it was totally destroyed. These guys are now houseless with the clothes on their backs and nothing else (and they’d be even further up shit creek if not for the American Red Cross). But they lost EVERYTHING – and could use as much help as possible to get their lives back to normal.

K is hosting the page where you can help out:

Ben plays drums, guitar, and whatever else is nearby in Angelo Spencer et les Hauts Sommets, Arrington de Dionyso’s Malaikat dan Singa, Kimya Dawson, Desolation Wilderness, Outdoor Voices, and many other bands that we’re forgetting. He is an important and much-loved part of Olympia music.
More information about the fire is available here:

If you’d like to donate clothing for adult males, household items, mixtapes, keepsakes, or anything else, they can be dropped off at 802 Jefferson St. SE between 11am-5pm M-Th. All donations will be passed along to Ben ASAP. Further questions can be directed to the K Mail Order Dept..

THANK YOU FOR WHATEVER YOU CAN DO!
