The Houston Press recently handed out its annual music awards. Best new emo/post-punk band went to a group called The Jonbenét. Via houstonpress.com:
The JonBenét proved that it is a group worthy of recognition by not showing up for the awards ceremony, and it wasn't because the band members believe they are above a local awards show. The group was too busy doing what a band should be doing to make a name for itself; the JonBenét was most likely taking the stage at Plan B in Dansville, Virginia -- a stop on its tour up the East Coast.
No mention of John Mark Karr because ... the article was published just days before police identified the suspect in the Christmastime '96 slaying of Jonbenét Ramsey.
The Jonbenét?s debut Ugly/Heartless comes out 9/19. You can listen to some music at their MySpace, but it's not very good. Much prefer Mel Gibson & The Nuclear So And So's.
