TEXAS–MEXICO BORDER | March 28, 2025
It’s not every night a punk band stumbles into the wrong kind of roadhouse — but The JURN isn’t your average band.
Late Thursday night, the notorious underground act known as The JURN pulled up outside a sketchy desert dive called The Titty Twister, a bar infamous among truckers and outlaws for its after-midnight entertainment and reputation for vanishing hitchhikers. Witnesses say the band’s battered RV pulled up around 11:37 PM, kicking up a storm of dust and blasting their own demo tapes out the windows.
Locals described the crew as “intense” and “weirdly quiet,” wearing matching studded leather jackets with cryptic red and blue accents. “They didn’t talk much,” said a bartender named Reyna. “They just kind of... watched. Ordered water. Then one of them tipped me in foreign coins.”
Things took a turn when Taz, the group’s rhythm guitarist, allegedly smashed an old jukebox after it refused to play their own track. “He just kept pressing the buttons. Then punched it like it owed him money,” a patron said, requesting anonymity. “That’s when all the lights flickered.”
Despite the outburst, no charges were filed. A few regulars claimed the band vanished before closing, leaving only half-drunk beers and a burned cigarette still smoldering in an ashtray shaped like a skull.
Since the incident, The Titty Twister has closed for “electrical repairs.” The band, meanwhile, has posted a blurry photo from the parking lot on their social media with the caption: “Hell has better acoustics.”
As for where they’re headed next? No one knows. But if The JURN rolls into your town — maybe check your breakers. And don’t touch the jukebox.
