Jon Spencer – The Waterfront, Norwich: Review / Set List

Posted on October 26, 2018 by admin

“The night downstairs opened in phenomenal style with Jon Spencer (and the Hitmakers), known to most from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. This was trashy garage rock and roll at its best. Literally, because as well as a drummer there was also a percussionist (with Olinski hair) bashing trash cans and what appeared to be junkyard car parts and scrap metal with two claw hammers. I later dubbed him Edward Hammerhands. Jon Spencer was bashing out these trashy, punky chords on his guitar and the whole band was an absolute powerhouse.”

Jon Spencer – Spencer Sings The Hits: Pre-Order

Posted on October 23, 2018 by admin

“We are proud to announce the release of Jon Spencer’s first ever solo album!!! After several decades of making music in Pussy Galore, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Boss Hog Jon has decided to strike out on his own. Despite the title, this is not a hits collection but is instead twelve brand new Spencer penned originals. Spencer Sings The Hits is a twisted take on garage-punk: super-nasty, super-simple caveman guitars, metal percussion and synth bass. This is some of his most primitive and hard-hitting works since his early days in Pussy Galore. Limited edition on color vinyl.” – intheredrecords.com
