Well, so long as you can stay up late enough.

Sources close to the band say that Jawbox will reunite on a late-night TV show to coincide with the reissue of the band's third and finest LP, For Your Own Special Sweetheart. This is not a prelude to a tour, the same people say. I spoke to J Robbins last week, and he didn't mention anything about this, but he did admit that a few one-off shows weren't totally outside the realm of possibility. "We’ve entertained the notion of playing some shows, but that’s as far as its gotten," said Robbins. "It's conceivable, but only remotely, that we could play some shows."

But playing on somebody else's show? Looks like that's a little more of a possibility.

Update: According to Billboard, Jawbox will appear Dec. 8 on NBC's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
