Given MAGNET’s detailed coverage of the end of the Mendoza Line—a beloved, ragtag countrypolitan bar band that went up in flames in 2007—it only seems fitting that we have plenty of access to the formation of the Jescos, the new group featuring the Mendoza Line’s Timothy Bracy and Wooden Wand’s James Jackson Toth, as well as Bracy’s wife, singer Elizabeth Nelson. Bracy has found his rambling pub-rock foil in Toth on the forthcoming Remembrance Of Things Trashed, a debut album that guts it out for rock ‘n’ roll glory. Read our Q&A with Toth and Bracy.
James Jackson Toth: The best vampire movie I have ever seen. Beautiful, spooky (but never really scary) and artfully directed, Let The Right One In also features one of the greatest climaxes of any horror film. I’d recommend it to just about anyone, as the story contains elements of romance, the avant garde, suspense and classic horror without ever succumbing to genre clichés.
