MOLE, a friend and collaborator of Jem's, maker of music, sometimes horn player with the JJ Horns (familiar to those of you that have been known to catch the Pogues on their UK tours), is crowd funding an album called "Danger Island." Mole is a really awesome dude. You should fund him.

We are pleased to announce...
We have recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to complete a new 21-song double album from MOLE, called ‘Danger Island’ – a new project from J. Maizlish Mole (of Marseille Figs and The Jupiter Club).
The Kickstarter page is here:
http://kck.st/1tx6rGtThis album represents an extraordinary collaborative effort, bringing together members of Marseille Figs, Internet Forever, The Pogues, The Rails, The Pretenders, Down I Go, Man Like Me, Cinematic Orchestra, The Jupiter Band, Drop Velvet, JJ Horns and Kidnap Alice, along with pianist Louis Vause (Madness, Graham Coxon), bassist Tom Ash, double bassist John Edwards, and drummers Felix Weldon and Andrew Ranken.
Our plan is to release the first dozen tracks as a series of quarterly EPs, followed by the whole Danger Island double album in just over a year’s time. There are a load of great rewards on the site, including exclusive bonus tracks, t-shirts, prints, a very limited edition CD of outtakes & demos, original artwork and, for vinyl junkies, a double LP 180g vinyl pressing.
The campaign reached 40% in its first four days – a great start. However, for the project to get finished we need as many people as possible to see it and support it. So please – visit the page and, if you like it, write it up, shout it out, tweet it, post it, tell the world – whatever you can do to make it happen. Every bit helps.
Many thanks and all the best to all of you,
Mole and Dorian
of Figs of London
