so these guys are playing in Baltimore this friday at "The Bank". problem is i've never heard of "The Bank" and google's turning up zilch. can any Baltimoreans help me out here?
― circa1916, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 07:11 (sixteen years ago) link
Am I wrong in thinking that these guys are not to be taken seriously, ina Mclusky sort of way? Not as witty, to be sure, but "Scrapbooking" is funnier than anything on that last Art Brut record.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 July 2007 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I was thinking that "The Bank" was that place on the corner of Eutaw and Baltimore but then I realized that that used to be called "The Vault" and is something else now so it just had me confused. Now I have no idea where "The Bank" is but I feel like I've walked past it at some point. Jess?
I've never heard Pissed Jeans but I was going to try to check out that show for one of the local openers.

"not to be taken seriously" is a v. problematic turn of phrase but I *think* you have the right idea
― DJ Mencap, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 15:15 (sixteen years ago) link
nevermind, I found the address: The Bank 2013 Frederick Ave.

yeah it's on the westside
i will be there will bells on

― pretzel walrus, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 15:31 (sixteen years ago) link
whole lineup is A+++ really
― strongohulkington, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link
I take Pissed Jeans very seriously.
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 16:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I take them seriously in the sense that they're a great noisy rock band (again, similar to my appreciation for Mclusky), but I think their lyrics are plainly tongue-in-cheek most of the time. I mean, "I've Still Got You (Ice Cream)", c'mon.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 July 2007 17:23 (sixteen years ago) link
take them seriously it's total retard rock are you people british?
― Edward III, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know, I think the lyrics are supposed to be an actual reflection of the kinds of things that desperate men cling to. I like the vocals a lot. Ice Cream is my favorite song.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
excellent point, now let's deconstruct "dick in one hand" by drunks w/ guns.
also, pj much more enjoyable live than on record. I was so-so on them till I saw 'em live.
― Edward III, Wednesday, 11 July 2007 17:32 (sixteen years ago) link
x-p
I think there's some truth in it for sure, I just happen to think that the juxtoposition of the "pained" vocal delivery with the (relatively) small-stake subject matter is more funny than insightful. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 11 July 2007 17:38 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah they are so great live and c. 3ddy o_O like usual. singer = hotttt

O.G. pigfuckers should not be expected to dig this shit. I do, but I was going to daycare in 1985. I bet plenty of fans weren't even born.
― da croupier, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 00:48 (sixteen years ago) link
I can't imagine anybody thinks this is an IMPROVEMENT on the first time 'round.

i still like this but yeah after awhile "Scrapbooking" really become irritating...i love the lyrics....the jogger is way better for the offspeed/changeup talking shit.
still this is pretty epic. i take them seriously. it's seriously good.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Like Hope for Men, don't love it. In part, that's cuz it's only about 1/10th as entertaining as the live show. But it's also less surprising, funny, rocking, noisy than I'd have liked. An good record that's just shy of something great.
― Bob Standard, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 15:09 (sixteen years ago) link
LOL at dudes throwing down about pigfuck bands' lyrics and vocal delivery. it's ugly and stupid, SOOPRISE!? it's also (fucking obviously) no Flipper or Jesus Lizard or Whatever, but it's probably the most satisfying approximation floating around right now.
so these dudes are playing at a more familiar Baltimore establishment, the Ottobar, with Black Dice headlining on November 19th. I'll actually be attending this one!
