wow i didnt know they were still together. i saw them at gilman st. about 10 years ago with the groovie ghoulies. it was an awesome show.

druhol (September 10, 2007)

They still play local shows 'round SF fairly regularly. And yes, they are fun as hell live.

onegirlarmy (September 10, 2007)

I was just about to post the same thing, I also had no idea they were still together.

andrewfracture (September 12, 2007)

whoa... i think i was at that show with the groovie ghoulies.

wasn't it that old guy's birthday or something?

rupson (September 10, 2007)

You'd think they would play San Francisco!?

Mustardnips (September 10, 2007)

it's kind of interesting that they are playing in a church in PA considering that churches usually shun the gays. it would be cool if they came closer to VA too.

telegraphrocks (September 10, 2007)

First Unitarian Church Of Satan

Mustardnips (September 10, 2007)

Now that i think bout they probably aren't coming to virginia because it sounds to much like vagina and they don't really like those.

GlassPipeMurder (September 10, 2007)

First Unitarian Church in PA is essentially a punk venue.

chris4555 (September 10, 2007)

best venue in philly. hands down.

housewrecker (September 10, 2007)

Hell yeah....favorite show there?

For me, tie between Bigwig & the Loved Ones/Paint It Black show...

Vincent_M (September 10, 2007)

Just about any World/Inferno Friendship Society show.

baseball (September 11, 2007)

never seen them there but i bet they're awesome in that venue

just saw one show there a few years ago, Leftover Crack/Stockyard Stoics/Mischief Brew

FightFlyCrow (September 11, 2007)

Biafra And The Melvins, with out a doubt

chris4555 (September 10, 2007)

i'd probably agree with that paint it black show as well. was that the show that from ashes rise was on too?

Evil_Dead (September 10, 2007)

Speaking of Alternative Tentacles, I'm sure people have heard by now, but if ya haven't: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1568781&vid=174600

JerryCola (September 10, 2007)

so how many people in that room (excluding the band, durrr) do you think actually knew the song?

GlassPipeMurder (September 10, 2007)

3 1/2

one person thought it was an Earth Crisis song.

spalmer (September 10, 2007)

That was actually kinda good

Spazner (September 10, 2007)

My thoughts exactly - I was surprised how solid that sounded. And it never occurred to me that the System of a Down guy could pull off a decent tribute to Jello, but makes perfect sense.

DeathFromAbove (September 10, 2007)

I think you could have substituted the band for any losers, but I think the real gem here is Serj. Not that im a fan of system of a down.

rupson (September 10, 2007)

Wow. Thanks for that. I love how all the girls are kinda dancing but have absolutely no clue what the words are, or what song it even is for that matter. priceless

Angiepants (September 10, 2007)

I've had that song stuck in my head all day and I can't figure out why. Weird.

And forget about DK, I wonder how many people in the crowd know who Pol Pot was.

Mario (September 10, 2007)

I've ALWAYS said Serj sounded like Jello. He has the same nasaly warble in his voice.
That's one of the first things that attracted me to SOAD, they reminded me of DK.
And yes, that was a pretty sweet cover.

TheOneTrueBill (September 10, 2007)

He didn't say the N word.

I like the bros pumping their fist. Comedy gold.

Torgo (September 10, 2007)

Yeah, I was upset about the censorship.

FuckYouOiOiOi (September 10, 2007)

thats actually a pretty good cover. its hilarious and nauseating to see a bunch of fuckin douchebags "rocking out" to Dead Kennedy's.

TheOneTrueBill (September 10, 2007)

Watch the "Shake Your Blood" video with Lemmy singing and look at all the people walking out at the beginning. Priceless.

joeg (September 10, 2007)

girls in $250 designer jeans...jocks doing the out of beat fist pump...on MTV...by a pretty good DK cover....you can't dream this stuff up if you tried.

capitalist_pig (September 11, 2007)

I've always thought Foo Fighters were underrated as far as their dedication to their roots. But those "fans" nauseatued me. You could see from their expressions that every one of them was thinking, "What the hell is this? This isn't 'Learn to Fly.'"

Cos (September 11, 2007)

Sure would've been nice if they actually wrote a new song about the war going on right now instead of covering a song that's 20+ years old. Face it, punk is safe.

rupson (September 11, 2007)

Punk is VERY safe right now. This little specticle on MTV proves it. Punk has almost come full circle.

LushJ (September 10, 2007)

They're touring supporting The Avengers (!), so they don't have any control over the dates. Can you guys add that they're touring with The Avengers to the news story? That'd be great!

GlassPipeMurder (September 10, 2007)

coincidentally, I was listening to your Batcast mixtape #2 this morning while i was doing homework and heard the Pansy Division mall song. what's weird is that i never listen to podcasts but for some reason had an urge to this morning. first time hearing them, it was cool.

joeg (September 10, 2007)

avengers were so fucking good when i saw them last year. such an overlooked band. i'll put them up against any of the other 1st wave of punk bands.

Jesus_H_Christ (September 10, 2007)

The cover was pretty cool but the highlight for me was seeing all the frat-fucks punching the air, the girls looking bored at first then attempting to dance to the song, and finally...Serj and his dance moves...priceless.

Jesus_H_Christ (September 10, 2007)

oops. meant to put my comment above in the little side thread about the DK cover by Foo Fighters and Serj.

corporatecriminal (September 11, 2007)

They put on a hella fun show that last time I saw them. Where is Reggie's Live in Chicago?

Alec (September 11, 2007)

Great, a Pansy Division tour.

Now, if only they would visit the UK.

BrandonSideleau (September 11, 2007)

Sounded good.....but not a tenth as intense as the DK's were.....ever see videos of Jello back in the day? He would have molested that crowd! Those jocks and teeny boppers would have been mind raped! haha.......sounded good nonetheless. Serj is a cool guy and I hope his solo album is good. It's just too bad this setting seemed so safe and conservative.....it's funny putting this video on side by side with a video of the DKs performing it in 1979........it's almost like the life has been sucked out it now. The kids at this MTV show look so complacent and oblivious I almsot wanted to hit them!

FuckYouOiOiOi (September 11, 2007)

my thoughts exactly. some people aren't meant to listen to punk rock.
