“Jawbox formed in its first iteration in 1989. In the long history of this band, a 3-night residency is one thing we never imagined we might do. In our 2019 rededication, we were excited to play some much bigger venues than we ever had before, but smaller venues still feel best. So we are beyond thrilled to announce this 3-night residence at Le Poisson Rouge.

We made four full-length records, and each represents a significant mutation in the sound of the band. Our debut Grippe was the quintessential first album: kids inspired equally by hardcore punk and indie rock, searching for a sound with our hearts on our sleeves. Novelty brought an expanded 2-guitar attack and an embrace of a darker, heavier aesthetic. For Your Own Special Sweetheart brought in drummer Zach Barocas, whose rhythmic invention changed the way we wrote songs from the ground up. And the final self-titled album was the sound of that same lineup with a more sure-footed and collaborative songwriting experience, playing more freely in the studio.

With three nights to cover four records, rather than playing any of these albums in full in sequence, each night of this residency will concentrate on a different phase of the band and include material we didn’t play on the 2019 tour, with some (minimal) overlap between the setlists. Night 1 will draw heavily from the first two Dischord albums; Night 2 will center on For Your Own Special Sweetheart, and Night 3 will revolve around the final self-titled Jawbox album. We’re also excited to curate the bill each night and share the stage with other artists who continue to inspire us.”
