Trevor (Hopper – guitar/vocals)

SPB: What is the best (or worst) reunion show you’ve seen?

Trevor: By far, the best reunion show I've seen was Jawbox. They did not fuck around with their musical legacy. They clearly put the work into living inside their material after years away and it enabled them to perform those intricate songs masterfully. Their presence was authentic, exuberant and generous. To top things off Kim Coletta came out after their set and told the group of people I was talking to that we looked cool and she always wants an opportunity to chat with people when they came to a town. Yes, somewhere in every city Jawbox stops in, is a group of people Kim Coletta approached and broke the ice with just to say hi. Inside my teenage self was incredibly starstruck but she's such an unassuming and warm person I left the conversation feeling like, "Oh, there goes my buddy, Kim....from Jawbox. Whoa."
