Die US-Punkrock Band Teenage Bottlerocket veröffentlicht bekanntlich am 14. Juli ihr neues Album „Stealing The Covers“, auf dem sie spezielle Coverversionen von unbekannteren Bands präsentiert. Mit „Why The Big Pause“ schicken sie einen weiteren Vorboten ins Rennen. Im Original ist der Song von The Punchlines. Zuvor wurde bereits der Track „RoboCop Is a Halfbreed Sellout“ veröffentlicht.
Bassist Miguel Chen über den Video-Dreh:
“The Punchlines from Minneapolis are fronted by our buddy Chris Johnson. He used to live above Matt’s Bar, home of the Jucy Lucy (if it’s spelled right, it’s wrong). It’s this burger stuffed with a boiling hot liquid cheese core. You have to wait to take a bite or you’re gonna burn the shit out of yourself. He said two to three times a week the ambulance would show up, because someone did just that. Ray called me one day to talk about shooting a video… ‘I found a bear suit on Amazon,’ he said. Duh.
The video wrote itself. We headed to the Buckhorn Bar at 1 PM and started drinking. Fat offered to pay our tab, but the bar was so stoked we were filming there they paid for all our drinks. I think Chewka was in the bear costume, but I can’t remember. At some point filming ended, so Kody and I kept stumbling around Laramie drinking. My wife picked us up and said I was asleep trying to eat pizza.”
Am 24. Juli sind Teenage Bottlerocket im Rahmen ihrer Tour im Café Glocksee in Hannover zu Gast.
