Jawbox announce openers for reunion tour

The reunited Jawbox are gearing up for their first tour in over 20 years, and they’ve now announced openers for some of the dates. The Cambridge night 1 show will be with Second Letter (the current project of Rob Haworth from Farside and State of the Nation); the Cambridge (night 2), Philly, Brooklyn, and DC (night 1) shows will be with LAPêCHE (who are fronted by singer/songwriter Krista Holly Diem, feature members of Small Brown Bike and Strikeforce Diablo, and worked closely with Jawbox’s J Robbins on most of their music); and DC also has The Pauses (who also worked with J Robbins on most of their music) on night two. Stream recent stuff by all three openers below.

Both Cambridge shows, Brooklyn, DC night one, LA night one, and Chicago night one are all sold out, but there are still some tickets available for the other shows. Openers for other cities TBA. All dates are listed below.
