Jonathon Newby was the lead singer of the post-hardcore/progressive rock band Brazil from its inception in 2000 until August 2007. Newby and his brother Nic newly were two of the founding members. On earlier Brazil recordings, Newby played drums but eventually became the lead singer. Newby left the band in 2007,[1] resulting in its break-up.
Newby takes inspiration from sources, such as literature, pop culture and film [2]
Newby maintained a blog titled 500 Days of Night [1] chronicling every concert Brazil performed from 2000 to 2008.
