The San Diego via Boston alt trio that disappeared before most folks caught on. Jejune, formed at Berklee College of Music in 1996 and relocating to San Diego, spent years building a sound that owed as much to dream pop as it did to the emo scene they were part of. Male-female dual vocals, guitars that shifted from jangly to blown-out, songs that hit harder than anything around them at the time. Putting out two genre-defining records on Big Wheel Recreation, Junk and This Afternoon's Malady, a split with Jimmy Eat World, and then abruptly breaking up in the year 2000, leaving the world to catch up.The world did. The records lived on in record collections and passed between fans like a secret worth keeping — and a younger generation found them just as hungry for it as anyone who was there the first time around. Now, after a successful run through Japan on the Sakura Nights tour and some excellent record reissues courtesy of The Numero Group, the emo indie rockers are back and touring the U.S. for the first time in over twenty-five years. All three original members.
All the songs. No excuses to miss it.
