Jets to Brazil was an American rock band formed in 1997. It was founded by Blake Schwarzenbach, former frontman of Jawbreaker. When Blake relocated to Brooklyn, New York, after Jawbreaker had disbanded, he reunited with friend Jeremy Chatelain, and the two began working on four-track recordings aided by drum machines. This lasted until former Texas Is the Reason drummer Chris Daly joined the band. Daly came up with the name "Jets to Brazil," and the band joined Jade Tree Records in 1997.

  • Jets to Brazil was an American rock band formed in 1997. It was founded by Blake Schwarzenbach, former frontman of Jawbreaker. When Blake relocated to Brooklyn, New York, after Jawbreaker had disbanded, he reunited with friend Jeremy Chatelain, and the two began working on four-track recordings aided by drum machines. This lasted until former Texas Is the Reason drummer Chris Daly joined the band. Daly came up with the name "Jets to Brazil," and the band joined Jade Tree Records in 1997. The origin of the band's name comes from a poster in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, a film well-liked among the band members. The group's first album, Orange Rhyming Dictionary, was released on Jade Tree Records in 1998. They did extensive touring following its release with bands like The Promise Ring. The band followed up the success of Orange Rhyming Dictionary with Four Cornered Night in 2000. Four Cornered Night featured new guitarist Brian Maryansky, formerly of the band The Van Pelt. This shift allowed Blake to become the pianist for the band. In 2002, Jets to Brazil launched their third—and what was to be final—album, Perfecting Loneliness. By fall of 2003, the band had broken up for unspecified reasons. Blake now teaches English at Hunter College in New York and is pursuing a Ph.D. in English Literature; and in October 2008, Blake started a new band, The Thorns of Life. Chris has reunited Texas Is The Reason for two shows at NYC's Irving Plaza in November 2006, with no actual future plans to reunite. "Sweet Avenue," the final track of Orange Rhyming Dictionary, is often attributed to Damien Rice due to misattribution on peer-to-peer networks.

  • Jets to Brazil (1997-2003) était un groupe d'indie rock américain, formé en 1997 par Blake Schwarzenbach et Jeremy Chatelain (de Handsome) après la séparation de Jawbreaker, où chantait Schwarzenbach. Ils ont ensuite recruté Chris Daly, de Texas Is the Reason, comme batteur. Ce serait Daly qui aurait suggéré le nom du groupe, dont l'origine est peut-être dans une affiche vue dans le film Breakfast at Tiffany's (inspiré de la nouvelle éponyme de Truman Capote). Orange Rhyming Dictionary sort en 1998 sur Jade Tree Records, et permet à Jets to Brazil de connaître le succès. Le groupe est alors rejoint par un second guitariste, Brian Maryansky, qui participe à l'enregistrement de Four Cornered Night, sorti en 2000. En 2002 sort leur dernier album, Perfecting Loneliness — dont Blake a dit : « C'est beau et c'est triste, mais c'est tout ce que j'ai. » —, un an avant que Jets to Brazil ne se sépare pour des raisons indéterminées. À la fin de l'automne 2002, Chris Daly avait quitté le groupe, remplacé par Matt Torrey de Mk Ultra (1994-1999, l'ancien groupe du chanteur John Vanderslice) au printemps 2003. Blake Schwarzenbach est aujourd'hui professeur d'anglais à Hunter College à New York. Jeremy Chatelain, lui, chante et compose pour son nouveau groupe, Cub Country, au son à la croisée de l'indie et de l'alt-country, à l'origine un side-project créé en 2000, et auquel participent aujourd'hui Chris Daly et Brian Maryansky. Il fait également office de bassiste pour le groupe de métal alternatif Helmet. Malgré son existence brève, Jets to Brazil est devenu un groupe culte, qui a exercé une influence sensible sur de nombreux musiciens de la scène punk comme de la scène indie, que ce soit grâce à ses mélodies recherchées ou au charisme et aux talents d'écriture de Blake Schwarzenbach. De son passé dans Jawbreaker à l'expérience Jets to Brazil (qui ne sonne absolument pas comme du punk), celui-ci a jeté un pont entre ces deux genres de musique.
