Artist Biography
by Ron DePasquale
Emo rockers Jejune formed in the mid-'90s at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where guitarist/singer
Joseph Guevara and drummer
Christopher Mendez Vanacore studied jazz and bassist/singer
Arabella Harrison
studied sound engineering, after switching from voice performance.
Before breaking up in early 2000, the band went on to become one of the
more appreciated underground emo bands, known for its blending of male
and female vocals and intensely personal music. By January of 1997,
Jejune -- which variously means lacking maturity, substance, or
nutrition -- had relocated to Guevara's hometown of San Diego. The band
did return to Boston to record three albums with Big Wheel Recreation,
formerly a hardcore label that branched out with
This Afternoon's Malady
in 1998. Guevara and Vanacore, when not playing in Jejune or as a jazz
lounge act downtown, played in a side project called the High Notes and
recruited second guitarist,
Mark Marino, to join Jejune. After the breakup,
Harrison sang occasionally with San Diego indie rockers
No Knife and joined
the And/Ors, yet another San Diego indie band. R.I.P. was released posthumously in 2000.
