Last year, local musicians Ken Janssen was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. At that time, he staged a fundraiser and benefit concert to help with his medical expenses. It was a big success. This year, he's raising funds for an "experimental stem cell procedure" that is designed to help counter the disease. He's recruited some of the city's finest indie rock bands to play. (Niesel)
