Toys That Kill, Forgetters, Ghost Knife, and Smalltown at Red 7
After Jets To Brazil quietly disbanded following the release of 2002's excellent Perfecting Loneliness, frontman Blake Schwarzenbach disappeared from music. So when he re-emerged last year in The Thorns Of Life, it created a lot of buzz, and not just because its sound recalled Schwarzenbach's seminal punk band Jawbreaker. Although Thorns recorded with noted indie producer J. Robbins, nothing came of it, and it wasn't long before Schwarzenbach announced the band's demise and started playing shows with another group, Forgetters (or forgetters, as the band prefers). It's another trio, this one with former Against Me! drummer Kevin Mahon and artist Caroline Paquita on bass. Here's hoping this new outfit sticks around a little longer.
