We have a new bass player. His name is Bryan. That's what our band looks like now. We are currently writing a new album and taking her easy.

DEVIL MUSIC.

Our 7" entitled 'DEVIL MUSIC VOLUME I' is now available to buy. You can get it at a show, or order it online for 5 bucks. It's an early demo of "Devils" b/w "1996", a Marilyn Manson cover.

In other news, Wil Spent has left the band and moved home to Illinois. On our tour with The American Black Lung, he was very ill and went to the hospital and was told he had type one diabetes. We're pretty bummed out, but it's for the best. Send him your love via his space.

You can finally order more than one shirt online. And a hoodie, no less. Our Merchnow store is open now.

EXPLODING FIST.

Hey there. Seth McConnell sent us some photos from our Rapid City show. If you have any photos (preferably of us playing) you'd like us to put up on our site, email us at dudes @ thejonbenet.com. Tour has been going well except for some bad weather and Wil being very under the weather and landing in the hospital in Illinois. Gabe from American Black Lung is filling in for Wil until he gets his shit in a pile. Send him snuggles and butterfly kisses to wilmfspent @ gmail.com.

In other news, we will be doing a mini-texas tour with TURMOIL. We're pretty excited about it. The dates for this extravaganza are:

Mar 02. - Austin, TX @ Red 7
Mar 03. - Ft. Worth, TX @ Ridglea Theater
Mar 04. - Houston, TX @ Walter's On Washington

SHITTY BUTT TITTY.

The winter weather covering most of the country has caused The Jonbenet to cancel five of their upcoming tour dates due to bad driving conditions.

The cancelled dates are:
01.17 – Portland, OR @ the satyricon
01.18 – Seattle, WA @ ground zero
01.19 – Spokane, WA @ the slaughter house
01.20 – Missoula, MA @ higgin’s hall
01.21 – Minot, ND @ all seasons arena

The band has released this statement:
"unfortunately, we had to cancel five shows in the northwest. we'd like to apologize to our friends in portland, seattle, spokane, missoula, and minot. the weather conditions are too extreme to risk driving through, especially for us on tour. the year has just begun, and we intend to make up for these cancellations. much appreciation to anyone involved in helping us out with these shows.

we'll be performing in rapid city, south dakota on january 22nd, and every other scheduled date on the tour. thanks for reading, see you on the road." - the Jonbenet

I did an interview for absolutepunk.net. If you're into that sort of thing.

Also, we're on this 'Metal = Life compilation.' It includes the song and video for "Why We're Dead." Speaking of compilations, Pluto will be releasing a Pluto compilation which might contain a new song and also a Texas bands compilation which might do the same.

WHAT BELL COUNTY DID TO ME.

There's another batch of fresh John Campbell photos from our last Dallas show here. We have a show in San Antonio tonight and Saturday in The Woodlands. Come out. In other news, we have written about a third of the next record. Pluto will be releasing a Texas bands compilation and we will most likely submit a demo of a new song for it. Other than that, we've been booking our January tour with The American Black Lung and Blues. Dates will be posted soon.

GULF COAST GRUNGE CORE.

Click here for some photos by John Hoysa of our show in Austin on the 20th. I got a lot of shit for wearing my own band shirt while playing. Whatever, all the greats wore their own band shirts. Speaking of band shirts, our Merchnow store will be opening soon, so check the updates.

HOUSTON SHOW.

WITCHING HOUR.

Thanks to those who came to Fallcore. We had a great time. A little too great, perhaps. John Campbell was there taking rad photos. Click here to view all of them.

We have a handful of Texas shows coming up and our 7" DEVIL MUSIC should be coming out in a month or so. Other than that we've been writing and planning our next tour.
