The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion show at Sound Control, 1 New Wakefield Street, Manchester M1 5NP, UK with Ming City Rockers on 22 October 2015.
“Psycho-savage-look-like drummer Russell Simins and stormy bluesman guitarist Judah Bauer –nice voice too, by the way, add more fuel to an already high-octane, impulsive performance by Spencer.
Forget the setlist, it’s all about the mood, the metropolis’ eclosion. By the time the encore arrives, the room is melting down and no one can stand still.” – Amaia Santana
“Watching the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, it strikes you it might not be advisable to get too close to drummer Russell Simins’ kit.
Tonight he looks like a man who’s in no mood for occasional conversation and one whose bass drum kick might knock you through a wall were you to encroach on his territory.
It’s a necessary counterpoint for this bass-less trio where his thumping percussion has to rein in two wayward guitarists in Jon Spencer and Judah Bauer.
It makes for a particularly heavy sound which makes the band almost instantly recognisable.” – Andy Cronshaw (manchestereveningnews.co.uk)
