Pissed Jeans at Roberta’s
For the second year in a row, Creem Magazine took over the backyard of Roberta’s in Bushwick, Brooklyn for an entire day for a show called Summer Sunburn. This year’s event began in the afternoon but since I was shooting something else, I didn’t arrive until right before Pissed Jeans took the stage as the headlining act.
The quartet from Pennsylvania performed songs from their new record, Half Divorced, along with playing older material and ending the show with “False Jesii Part 2,” from their 2009 album, King of Jeans, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year and has a reissued LP that you can purchase from the Sub Pop Records webstore here.
I realized during their set that I’ve been seeing them perform live for over a decade now and I’m so grateful that they’re still going strong albeit $62,000 in debt.
