The Canberra, Australia–based pop-punk four-piece Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have been slowly gaining traction over the past couple years as their slew of raging and undeniably catchy singles have earned them billings on a handful of festival flyers, not to mention opening slots for artists including fellow-Aussie Alex Lahey, with whom the group wrote their recent single “Miss Your Birthday.” Yet the band is still coasting on the success of an earlier track called “AHHH!,” released last October, which served as a boisterous introduction to the band for many of us.
For the “Neighborhoods” set they filmed at Oakley Hill in their hometown of Canberra, the group showed us a very different side of the single, stripping things down to acoustic guitar and vocals, with the band’s Anna Ryan taking the track on solo. Check out the performance below, which may or may not end with Ryan being attacked by insects.
