Reunited after 27 years apart, the San Diego-via-Boston band brings its first Florida show in nearly three decades to Sarbez! in St. Augustine on Sept. 26, 2026. This event is FREE and open to all ages, presented in partnership with St. Johns  Cultural Council and the St. Johns County TDC. 

Jejune

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.

Pohgoh

Florida indie-emo rockers Pohgoh are making the most of their 20-year break since their comeback album, 2018’s Secret Club. Tours with Jawbreaker, Mineral, and 2 of their own headlining tours of Japan in 2019 and 2024. Both Secret Club and their 3rd full length, du und ich,  were tracked and mixed with J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) at The Magpie Cage Recording Studio (Baltimore, MD).

On their latest album (du und ich; Spartan Records), themes include the stress that covid-19 has put on all of us personally (and as a nation), lock-downs, self-isolations and it's impact on one's psyche and relationships. Singer/guitarist Susie's 20+ year struggle with Multiple Sclerosis is also an ongoing major topic sprinkled throughout the album, reflecting her own personal perspective and adjustments to this “new normal”.
