Music Mmmmm, Mean Jeans at Burgerville

In what is clearly a health violation—remember, this is a band that once promised to wipe "a booger on every single" seven-inch they released—Means Jeans will be serving up a heaping pile of pop-punk this evening at the Burgerville on 12th and Hawthorne. This isn't the first show that this particular fast food joint has hosted, but it very well might be the last. If tonight doesn't end like this video game, or in a massive food fight, I'll be shocked.

Rumor has it that the band will be recording a live seven-inch at the show, so please refrain from chewing your Half Pound Colossal Cheeseburger with your mouth open. No one needs to hear that.

End Hits: "Peter Pepper must deal with three enemies: Mr. Hot Dog, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Egg." Video games just aren't what they used to be.

I can't believe that Burgerville would allow their name and product (probably not really, but still) to be on the same poster with the word "Cuntifiers." Need to hire some new marketing people.

Also, the Cuntifiers obviously didn't learn the lesson of Starfucker.

(See Matt, you don't need an old lady. Blabby is here!)

What about Therapists? We've all seen the SNL skit, we know how that is pronounced...

@Blabby: I don't know, I think they did learn the lesson. If they're lucky, they, too, can parlay curiosity into popularity and have to change their name .

ummm, totally different shit-- Starfucker were a skinny hipster dance band that had a bunch of money waved in their face. Cuntifers are decidedly less marketable. In several ways.

Some of the other recent Burgerville shows were set up to benefit charities via Radio Cab's giving program...not sure if this one is affiliated with that or not.

Wouldn't this show be more appropriate at the Doug Fir, home of the Fir Burger?

I wish I'd known about this sooner. Just received a Cuntifiers EP for Xmas from my niece down south. It won't be an evening of your typical fast-food Muzak.

PS: Angel, you win Comment of the Day.

Somebody at Burgerville must like the Cuntifiers, as this is the 2nd time they've played there in the past 3 weeks............

Quick update on the line-up: Cowabunga Babes bailed, and Mean Jeans are playing first now. They go on at 6 sharp, as they are also playing in Seattle tonight with Coconut Coolouts. So get to this show early!

I never thought I'd see a word like "Cuntifier" on a poster with the word "Burgerville", pretty much ever.

D'you suppose George Propstra is spinning in his grave right about now?
