Maybe you recognize JR, the singer of JAIL BAIT, because you’ve seen her around downtown and surely you leered with jealousy. Ever since I heard she was fronting a band I knew they had to be sick and after missing every one of their shows so far (what can I say, it was never on purpose and I have habits that make me really forgetful), I was stoked to see their whole set go up in videos on this blog Stupid Girl. So listen, maybe you’re not a fan of The Virgins or whatever other new bands are happening in NY right now but it’s hard not to be into JAIL BAIT, with the screechy vocals that remind me of being 15 again and singing in a band just like this (except maybe a little faster and with more leather and hairspray for our Mohawks). Whether you like them or not, you have to admit they seem a lot more fun those most of the fucking crap out there; Vampire Weekend anyone? Disgusting.
Sidenote: I’m surely not the only one really digging all of JR’s onstage looks so far. She was a cheerleader one night and well, whatever you wanna call this look with a latex garter belt and t-shirt. She’d be a Street Boner in this getup for sure. Especially doing an Elvis cover.
In any case, catch JAIL BAIT playing LIVE at LIT this Wednesday night. Hopefully this time I won’t miss the fucking show.

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

UH, what “look” exactly is this JR sporting? A tshirt with a sparkly vintage necklace and a cheap faux animal tail boa thing? If this is what the cool kids in NYC think the other cool kids are cool for sorting out, I’m a fucking uber mega genius goddess and I needed to be in NYC blowing your fucking minds since YEARS ago.

The virgins? “Leered with jealousy”? Is this a really bad ironic joke?
02.12.10 at 9:54 pm
