BOSS HOG: AMPHETAMINE REPTILE 25TH BIRTHDAY BASH
added: 30.AUGUST.2010 [updated: 6.SEPTEMBER.2010]
Photos of Boss Hog live at the AmRep 25th Birthday Bash in Minneapolis on 28th August 2010 can be seen on Reviler.org [LINK].

Visit youtube.com to see videos of Boss Hog performing Green Shirt, Bunny Fly, Hustler, What The Fuck [LINK], Green Shirt (+ Intro) [LINK], Strawberry [LINK], Dandelion [LINK], What The Fuck [LINK], Monkey [LINK], Ski Bunny [LINK], Gerard [LINK] and Trouble [LINK].

The following text is an excerpt from a review of the event by Erik Thompson on CityPages.com [LINK]. Visit their website to see the entire article and slide show:

"After Dr. Sphincter presented Hazelmyer with an "outstanding achievement in the field of excellence" award, Boss Hog came out to close out the festivities properly. They were ultimately the perfect headliners to finish the evening, as the stylish quintet delivered a rousing, sultry set filled with the raucous guitar of Jon Spencer and the seductive vocals of Cristina Martinez. It was a lively, inspired performance from a band I never thought I'd get the chance to see live again. Their hour-long set kicked off with a tempestuous version of "What The Fuck" and never slowed down once, with Martinez exclaiming "You've been waiting all night for the ladies," caustically pointing out that between her and drummer Hollis Queens, they were the only females on the entire bill. But Boss Hog weren't here to preach, they were here to rock, and the band just slayed on combustible versions of "Strawberry," "Trouble," "Ski Bunny" and "Duchess" which all sounded feisty and incredible. "Sick," which Spencer introduced by cheekily saying "I want to thank everybody at Sub Pop" closed out the main set, and after a two-song encore that featured an energetic version of "Monkey," the band, and the festival, was done."

WeLoveDC.com [LINK] also has just published a review and photos of the event by Michael Darpino. This is the Boss Hog part...

"One of the bands known outside of Am Rep circles, Boss Hog are often dismissed as Jon Spencer’s band between Pussy Galore and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. However, as any good Am Rep fan will tell you, Boss Hog is more Cristina Martinez’s outfit than anybody’s. She bares it all vocally and physically on Boss Hog’s albums with her impassioned delivery style and unbeatable sex appeal. The band behind her deliver a mash-up of blues rock and near-industrial levels of noise. Jon Spencer is definitely a presence with his awesome guitar licks and occasional vocals, but every time he took the mic on Saturday the crowd seemed to be aching for Martinez’ return to it. Martinez bounced around the stage, singing her heart out while melting hearts with her irresistible smile. Boss Hog’s fantastic, high-energy set capped the night with a celebratory feeling that did the term Bash justice.

While Boss Hog tore through their encore, The Thrown-ups’ singer, Fotheringham, creeped onto the stage, mooned the crowd, pulled his shirt up, and began to perversely rub his belly and nipples. Boss Hog wrapped up their final tune, said good night, and left the stage; allowing Fotheringham to linger there rubbing himself sans music for just a few uncomfortable moments longer. It was a perfectly awkward end to an amazing day of music and performance that ranged from the mathematically precise to the politically absurd, from the gut-punch intense to the certifiably insane."

JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION: PITCHFORK.COM TOP 200 TRACKS...
added: 30.AUGUST.2010 
Bellbottoms by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion appears at number 180 in a Top 200 Tracks of the 1990s list just published on Pitchfork.com [LINK].

"There's nothing subtle about a band that yells its name at you in almost every song. So "Bellbottoms", the most gaudy and excessive expansion of the Blues Explosion playbook is also their defining moment. As if to send up the ubiquitous, point-missing charges of blackface that JSBX are somehow still accused of, "Bellbottoms" summons a thunderstorm of swooping Blaxploitation strings around the band's signature blues-punk sneer. The rest unfolds like a sampler platter of Spencer's favorite tricks-- JB's call and response, a chicken-wire breakdown-- making the track both guidebook and overture to JSBX's career.

--Rob Mitchum"

JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION: EXTRA WIDTH / YEAR ONE REVIEWS
added: 24.AUGUST.2010

"What these two reissues demonstrate, perhaps more than any other pair in this excellent series, is just how wide a net the Blues Explosion cast. Name aside, they weren't fascinated by the blues solely, but were equally enamored with and even moved by soul, funk, early rock, rockabilly, even jazz, all of which they filtered through a late-80s indie aesthetic."

Visit Pitchfork.com [LINK] to see their reviews of the Year One (7.1) and Extra With (8.4) reissues.

And go to thefirenote.blogspot.com [LINK] for a much more brief but good review of the two albums.

JON SPENCER: WASHINGTON POST INTERVIEW
added: 19.AUGUST.2010

"It’s more passion than energy. If you say energy it just makes people think - I’m not sawing a log in half! There’s passion, there’s showmanship - there’s a whole lot of stuff in there. It was terribly important to us to really get out there and knock people dead."
