Koji was recently robbed in Louisiana resulting in the loss of merchandise and his guitar. To recoup costs, he has launched a Kickstarter to help raise funds to replace the stolen items.Koji released the following statement:
"This week marks the beginning of what will be my life on the road in 2012. Last night, my crew and I were on our way to Texas to begin the tour when we stopped at a friend’s house in Louisiana. It was a good area right next to a school and we were assured it was a safe place to park. Regardless, we took precautions checking on the vehicle periodically and taking the valuables out. However, my merchandise and guitar didn’t make it into the house before all the vehicles in front of the house were broken into including ours. We are incredibly fortunate to be safe and in good health.
There are things you can’t control when your on the road and everyone understands that there’s a certain amount of risk that comes with the touring lifestyle. Sometimes things happen. You have got to work through it. Luckily, I was able to recover some vinyl in an alley nearby, but otherwise I’m left with very little merch to make money with to sustain the tour. Worse yet, I’m without the necessary tool, my guitar, to perform my trade.
In my music, I write about what it is to face yourself and to face the challenges at hand. You’ve got to take everything that comes your way and grow from it. My resolve to keep on working is stronger than ever, but I’ve come to a point where I need to ask for your help. The $3,000 goal will put a dent in our losses and will replace some of the stolen merch and equipment, but it’s only a start. Anything you can do—even if it’s not supporting this campaign, but sharing my music and mission with new ears—will help me go the distance.
Thank you so much for your support in my moment of need. Friends, family and community are the only reasons I exist."

Album Review: La Dispute/Koji - Never Come Undone
Over the past 12 months, both La Dispute and Koji have been gathering a strong following, and with a close friendship between the band and the singer, this 12" split is an ideal release.On the La Dispute half, 'Sunday Morning, at a Funeral' provides a soft, dreary opening that slowly picks up pace but never quite gives the pull off you expect. Nevertheless, the bands musicianship makes the admirable and gives a good idea of what La Dispute are about. Whereas 'Last Blues' shows the bands ability to stir up strong emotion at times, however the scarce use of Jordan Dreyer's vocals in places give the track an empty feel. However when Dreyer is brilliantly used, he is able to provide a reaction and an overall intense feeling.
