Mean Jeans touring to The Fest, playing Brooklyn & Baltimore's U+NFest 5 too

Ramones-worshipping punks Mean Jeans are getting ready to head out on tour with Melted leading up to their appearance at The Fest at the end of this month. They’ll be on the road starting this weekend, when they’ll hit the Baltimore-based U+NFest on October 21. The punk-oriented throwdown goes down (mostly) at Baltimore’s Ottobar, extends to October 22, and also features a rare appearance from Bronx post-punk outfit ESG, along with Celebration, Terry Malts, Mannequin Pussy, Wing Dam, ESCAPE-ISM (Ian Svenonius), Permanent Waves (Christina Billotte of Slant 6 / Quixotic), and many more. Tickets for that are on sale now.

After that fest Mean Jeans head to NYC for a show at Alphaville on October 22 where they’ll be joined by Melted and Bob Mann and the Rolling Thunder. Tickets for that are on sale now.

In addition to U+NFest and The Fest (which Mean Jeans play on October 30, and which still has tickets avilable), Mean Jeans have one more cool punk fest on the schedule. Good Vibrations III goes down from December 2-4 in Austin, and also features Nobunny, Reigning Sound, Skin Drips, The Shrine, Sweat Lodge, Dirty Fences, Loteria and many more. Tickets for that are on sale now.

Mean Jeans released their Notable new LP Tight New Dimension earlier this year. Stream that, check out all tour dates, and check out the lineups for U+NFest and Good Vibrations below.
