Possible Reformation and Jimmy Fallon Performance
On October 7, 2009 it was announced that Jawbox would reform for a one-night-only performance of "Savory" on the December 8, 2009 episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. This was their first show since early 1997 and was done to mark the reissue of their 1994 album For Your Own Special Sweetheart.
J. Robbins has also put to rest rumors of a full-fledged reunion, saying that the band will not play any concerts outside of the Late Night appearance.
In addition to taping "Savory" for their Jimmy Fallon appearance as planned, Jawbox also performed "68" and "FF=66" during their rehearsal. Footage of the extra songs was then released online.
