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: Because my diet resembles that of a scavenger racoon, I tend to eat a lot of what most people would call “junk food.” Stouffer’s frozen meals are a cut above the rest of the myriad TV dinners that line the freezer aisle of the supermarket. Best is their lasagna and chicken breast. I’d do a jingle for them for free.
