PISSED JEANS

oh, thanks ksh! that track is really quite nice. reminds of a lot disparate things that kinda come close but don't really nail their sound so I won't mention them here, but suffice to say it pushes some of my buttons. anyway, yeah I was just kinda drunk and ranting last night -- depressed that a band as amazing as Pissed Jeans really *doesn't* get their just due. but that's just how it goes.

iow, i am feeling this;

hands down best rock band in the world going right now though.

― tmi finney (samosa gibreel)

ah man, it was the best show. alot of these weird punk shows in montreal lately have been really boring audience-wise, just this silent majority of hipsters and people who like performance art standing around with their arms crossed. but for pissed jeans they got a powerviolence band and an 80s hardcore band to open, tonnes of dudes crowdsurfing and going nuts.

median age at the show last night was probably about 28 (I am 38)

didn't see any of the scenesters from "my generation" of indie/punk/etc rock though, which kind of surprised me. It was a Wednesday though (it was a huge battle to make it into my 8 am start job today, 20 minutes late)

I should also mention that the Empty Bottle in Chicago has amazing drink specials, $5.50 each day for a drink and a shot. Last night, it was Tito's Vodka and a Point IPA in a bottle. Tito's is, like, my fave vodka right now, and I'm not even really a vodka guy. best boilermaker ever

pretty much everyone was over 20. well, at least no one under 18.

yeah, I caught the same general vibe as samosa. crowd actually *did* start off a little arm-crossed, but Pissed Jeans proceeded to break that down relentlessly until, at the end, there was wild moshing to the last couple tracks. they really are unparalleled right now, I think. 50 minute set, no encores, as there needn't have been. they give everything they have for the 50 minutes.

Stormy, glad you liked the DP song!

that's great that the audience was really into it. way too rare these days at many, many shows

these fuckin guys

never listened, just cuz

i heard they had a 7" coming out this year

The 7" is out, at least on Emusic. "Sam Kinison Woman" is great, but the b-side is the kind of lumbering clever-Neandertal dirge that they do better than anyone since Flipper. Stunning in it's groaning, cranking way.

yep there was a run of 500 on yellow vinyl from sub pop. not sure if any are left, was glad i scored one.

Can someone please tell me the name of the song being played in this clip? I was at this show and they opened with this, and it was VISCERAL.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6dXZfGAt2k

That looks odd. In any case, yeah -- anyone know the title?

Hey that's the song I'm talking about. The L-Word.

their singer is hilarious. <3 this band.

for the record there's a, presumably more numerous, black vinyl version if that wasn't clear

also they have a tribute band (sort of)! http://www.myspace.com/shatshorts

^ 7" is great

I won tickets to Pissed Jeans off of WFMU's twitter on Friday.

Opening band is ... Protect-U?? Dance music from D.C. (I saw em at PS1 Warm-Up over the summer). What a weird bill.

/ braggin 2012

mike from protect-u and sean from pissed jeans played together in a dc band called navies back in the day

cool story bro

Wait, that is a cool story bro - I had no idea either of those guys were in Navies. I thought Navies was an ex-Black Eyes thing?

mike from protect-u and sean from pissed jeans played together in a dc band called navies back in the day

huh! well that kinda explains it then.

xp - don't think any of the black eyes dudes were ever in navies, though they played shows together sometimes, and there's a lotta former-member overlap via future times (mike's label)/LIES/100% silk stuff

anyway, this thread revive prompted me to pull out shallow again and it is still so so awesome

love these guys, it's totally time for a new album!

fucking amazing band. seeing them in 2 weeks.

Just heard Sam Kinison woman, fucking awesome. How have the recent sets been? Would love to get these guys in the local DIY basement venue.

they were pretty good at Music Hall of Williamsburg although the sound was a little mushy, guitars weren't cutting through like they should

the singer practically does standup nowadays. it's pretty lol. people in front near the stage got the Don Rickles treatment

New track!

It's rather good...

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

i already said this somewhere else but this album is the no. 1 reason to not throw myself under a bus until at least february 2013

yeah, best band

fvk yes \m/

love em forever

this is fucking awesome

great innit. I'm going to revisit their old albums by way of celebration.

Now if only Clockcleaner would release another record!

good band but Jesus Lizard is better

that statement works for nearly every band is the thing

Clockcleaner broke up didn't they?

I don't think I heard the last Pissed Jeans record. Which I should probably do something about.

re. Clockcleaner, I think so too, but it was difficult on cursory examination of Wikipedia etc. to confirm that was the case. Anyway they were good too!

Clockcleaner singer dude subsequently did Puerto Rico Flowers which very v little rock and lots of goth. have a feeling that too has come to an end

Clockcleaner definitely had a goth thing going on, but more on the Cramps/ Gun Club end of the goth-psychobilly spectrum I would have said.

So glad Pissed Jeans is BACK

now Air Conditioning just needs to return

the last pissed jeans was just unbelievably good. amazing live band and good guys too.

clockcleaner broke up & richard sharkey formed puerto rico flowers who i'm not sure have released anything this year but released an lp last year, more gothy less punk

jesus lizard are one of those bands i know i am wrong for not loving more but tbh have always prefered most other amrep to them. find the bass too metal funk-ey or something & hasn't aged well, compared to halo of flies for example. kind of feel the same way about butthole surfers. i def prefer pissed jeans but obv my mileage varies, i wasn't listening to any of this stuff in the 90's

find it amusing that Matt Korvette writes for Spin's fashion/style blog: http://www.spin.com/writers/matt-korvette

now Air Conditioning just needs to return

Hell yeah.
