It seems like the New York Times always bites off more than it can chew when it comes to reviewing bands with edgy names (see the article discussing Fucked Up’s live show back in November). So, it should come as no surprise that an article about Allentown, PA-based noise-makers Pissed Jeans comes off being pretty hilarious, considering they can’t even print the groups name in the article. The groups moniker is described as “a basic bladder-related humiliation, something that happens to the drunk or scared or infantile.” Oh, journalism!

Check it out and have a good chuckle right here.

As always Man Man put on an amazing show, but what’s Man Man show in NYC without the crazed fan Darren Mabee? Mabee was there in full force trying to take down the host of the show, comedian Jonah Ray and get him off the stage. In a sense he achieved in taking him down by literally body slamming him at one point.  Afterwards they made out, sort of, and Mabee passed a dollar bill from his mouth to Jonahs.  Beautiful!

Earlier in the night the two sang a duet to the tune of “Hulkster in Heaven” by Hulk Hogan. Check the video out below. Check after the jump for more photos of Man Man and the always entertaining Pissed Jeans who opened the night.

Pissed Jeans’ lead singer Matt Korvette looks like a man who needs a lot of ice cream. Regular ol’ claims adjuster off stage, David Yow-inspired madman while on, yelping and flailing, with a possessed stare that would scare your grandmother. Check out the very “Black Hole Son” influenced “I’ve Still Got You (Ice Cream)” after the jump.
