Joaquin "Jack" Brewer[1] is an American musician known as the singer and lyricist for the Los Angeles post-hardcore band Saccharine Trust which he cofounded with guitarist Joe Baiza.
[3] After spending almost a year attempting to put together a new lineup[4] which included a failed audition by Mike Watt,[2] the freshly renamed Saccharine Trust played their first gig in 1980 with Minutemen.
[4] The lineup consisted of Baiza on guitar, Brewer on vocals, Luis Maldonado on bass, and Richie Wilder on drums.
[2] The band took the name Saccharine Trust from a line in the David Bowie song "The Bewlay Brothers" on Hunky Dory.
Brewer joined Baiza, Watt, and George Hurley (Minutemen) to record vocals for The Way Things Work by experimental rock band Unknown Instructors.
