ROBBINS (of JAWBOX, BURNING AIRLINES, CHANNELS, and OFFICE OF FUTURE PLANS) are touring together and coming to Cambridge! Earlier this year, JONAH'S ONELINEDRAWING released a brand new album, "Me And You Are Two". Along with J., he's also started a new side project/studio band called MORAL MAZES whose debut 7" was just released on Bridge Nine Records. Jonah is heading out from San Francisco for a solo acoustic tour of the UK and the East Coast. It's been a while since his last proper Boston area show and it's bound to be a special night. Joined by his OFFICE OF FUTURE PLANS bandmates GORDON WITHERS (cello) and BROOKS HARLAN (keyboards, backing vocals), J. ROBBINS has just released an EP titled "Abandoned Mansions" that features new acoustic arrangements of songs J.has written for JAWBOX, BURNING AIRLINES, OFFICE OF FUTURE PLANS, as well as the titular new track. Together, they will perform an acoustic set featuring selections from his past and current bands, digging into the catalog of songs that J. has written over the past two decades. J. tours very infrequently these days, and his last Cambridge show in 2011 was unforgettable. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see both of these legendary songwriters/bandleaders play some highlights of their songbooks in an intimate setting! DREW O'DOHERTY opens the show. Here's the lowdown... SUNDAY NOVEMBER 16th Jonah's ONELINEDRAWING J. ROBBINS with BROOKS HARLAN + GORDON WITHERS performing songs from J.'s past and present bands DREW O'DOHERTY ALL AGES! DOORS AT 9 PM ADVANCE TICKETS: $12/DAY OF SHOW TICKETS: $15 Green Street Studios 185 Green Street Central Square Cambridge, MA 02139 »» Also see Alternative Press’s interview, ““The rise and fall of the post-Nirvana boom I don’t care about”—J.
