Johnny O and the Jerks brewed us up a delicious cocktail of drunkin’ blues, tipsy rockabilly and staggering punk two weeks ago at Off Broadway, in St. Louis. Check them out on MySpace or at Big Muddy Records.

I liked these guys a lot better when they were the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

Jon Spencer is now Johhny O? The Blues Explosin played Philly many times. Just wondering if the Jerks name is a tribute to Teenage Jesus and the Jerks?

Hi everybody.

I play drums in this band.

Just clearing a few things up.

1) Our name is not a tribute to Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, but that has been asked quite a few times. I should check them out.

2) We are in fact, a John Spencer Blues Explosion ripoff. In fact, our entire song catelogue was written by smoking opium and listening to all of his albums, at the same time, backwards.

There ya have it!

See ya’ll at church!
