RIP Jason Noble of Rodan, Rachel's - 08.05.2012


Louisville musician Jason Noble, of Rodan, Rachel's and Shipping News, died Saturday morning after a battle with cancer. The news broke on his CaringBridge journal, which stated he was surrounded by family and friends.

Noble joined the influential but short-lived post-hardcore band Rodan in the early '90s, and released a few singles with the band, as well as the essential full-length, Rusty. Afterward, he had a productive career releasing albums with bands such as Rachel's and Shipping News.

It was first announced that Noble was diagnosed with cancer back in 2009. Proceeds from a mixtape titled In Pleasant Company: A Mixtape for Jason will be donated to his family.
