Jon Spencer – NEW Interview: Magnet Magazine: A Conversation With Jon Spencer (July 7, 2026)
“When I’m playing a show, I can’t help but say something to my fellow human beings there in the room. Rock ’n’ roll—one of America’s true gifts to the world—did change the world. Is it still some world-changing force? I don’t know. Capitalism co-opts and defangs everything…
…Now people don’t want to pay for music. But one thing hasn’t changed: the primal, communal thing that happens at a good rock ’n’ concert. It can be almost spiritual. It can be like a church service. It’s not just about me or the band playing songs. It’s about everyone in the room. Everybody gets plugged into the moment. I’ve been playing shows for more than 40 years, and those special, unreal, almost otherworldly moments that happen during a great concert are still possible. That hasn’t changed.”

NEW Jon Spencer interview with Mark Andrews for LouderSound.com (July 3, 2026)
“I am hopeful that a change is gonna come, if I can quote a better songwriter than me.”
“Spencer has not hoisted his freak flag alone. His band – for which he still does not have a name – is a power trio: himself on guitar, Macky (or Spider) Bowman on drums and Kendall Wind on bass, although she often uses the instrument as a lead guitarist would…”

Jon Spencer – Songs of Personal Loss and Protest review and “Manual de averías del rock and roll según Jon Spencer” feature on Atonal.net
“Jon Spencerconstituye una marca propia, una fórmula reconocible desde el primer acorde. Lo admirable es que todavía encuentre motivos para seguir agitándola. Y, sobre todo, que esas razones resulten creíbles. Cuando canta sobre pérdidas, enfado o desconcierto no parece un veterano interpretando el papel de Jon Spencer. Parece simplemente Jon Spencer.”

Manual de averías del rock and roll según Jon Spencer:
“Los directos de aquella época han adquirido dimensiones legendarias. Quienes tuvieron la suerte de verlos recuerdan conciertos que parecían desarrollarse al borde del colapso. Spencer actuaba como un predicador poseído por los fantasmas de Little Richard, James Brown y algún vendedor ambulante de aceite milagroso perdido en una feria del Medio Oeste. Todo ocurría a gran velocidad. Todo parecía estar a punto de descarrilar. Precisamente por eso funcionaba. Uno de los episodios más extraordinarios de aquellos años llegó en 1996.”
