The Jonbenét
The Jonbenét was an American noise rock band formed in Houston, Texas in summer 2003. The group was named after the murdered child JonBenét Ramsey, who was widely publicized during the mid to late nineties.
The band played their first show as Jonbenét on August 22, 2003, and after several self-released EPs and tours in the US and Canada, the band caught the attention of Pluto Records, an independent record label from Texas. The Plot Thickens was released on Pluto Records (2005). It was a re-mastered compilation of material from their self-released EPs and split 7-inch releases.
The band released their first full-length entitled Ugly/Heartless (2006). Emerald Moon Records and Pluto Records worked together on a four part vinyl series and only two were released. On August 10, 2009, the band announced a string of final shows, insinuating the band will no longer continue. The last show was played December 19, 2009, at Walter's in Houston, Texas and released Substances (2009).
