Rodan musician Jason Noble has passed away following a battle with cancer.
Louisville has always punched way above its weight. The Kentucky city boasts a fertile, close knit music scene which has always strived to avoid labels.
Post-hardcore group Rodan pushed their way to the centre of this. Becoming hugely respected within the city and beyond, the band added intelligence and a sense of humour to an increasingly dry alt rock template.
Musician Jason Noble helped fuel the band, working with Rodan alongside stints with Rachel’s and Shipping News. Sadly diagnosed with cancer, the Louisville artist passed away last night (August 3rd) according to his family.
A note on the musician’s Caring Bridge blog reads:
“Around 10:15AM this morning Jason went into cardiac arrest for a second time. After 45 minutes of CPR and other heroic measures the NIH staff were unable to get his heart to pump again. Jason passed away just before 11AM surrounded by friends and family. He will be cremated here in Maryland early next week prior to making his final journey back to Kentucky. Plans for a larger gathering to celebrate Jason’s life is still in the works but is expected to be at least a few weeks out. Final plans will be posted here. “
Our thoughts are with his loved ones.
