YOU OUGHTA KNOW: THE JAG
THE JAG For up-and-coming and established artists alike, theft is a harsh reality that comes with life on the road. We’re not talking about getting “robbed” of awards or “robbed” by streaming services—we’re talking about breaking and entering, dudes snooping around in ski masks, that sort of thing. Hell, someone even stole $200,000 from Zeppelin in 1973 (that case is still unsolved, by the way). Unfortunately, local “slantgaze rock” band The JAG suffered a similar— though not quite as costly—fate at last year’s SXSW. After watching
past NATIVE cover feature Sol Cat perform, The JAG returned to their van to find that practically all of their gear had been stolen. One year (and one hell of a GoFundMe) later, The JAG are back and better than ever. On top of touring with Grace Potter and recording their latest LP, Pondermental Wonderment in Hypocricity, at The Bomb Shelter, the guys are back in the studio again. And if their sophomore effort was any indication, we’re in for even more sometimes-spooky, always-warbly, slantgaze goodness.
