“Spencer, Bauer, and Simins sound completely unrestrained, like feral dogs left alone to run free and follow their every creative impulse.”
The A.V. Club have just published a feature on The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion album Now I Got Worry.

UPDATE: On 8 October 2016 Bob Bert posted the following details about this event on facebook:
“This past Wednesday, there was a release party in the penthouse of the Standard Hotel on the Bowery in NYC. In this incredible space with a panoramic view, I had the honor and privilege to play drums behind Jon Spencer (guitar & vocals) & Lou Reed archivist Don Fleming (on Fuzz Bass & backing vocals) on 2 Lou songs (I Can’t Stand It & Waves of Fear). We were followed by legendary photographer Mick Rock showing a short film of him & Lou going through photos which was hysterical and than Mick told stories about hanging with Lou, Bowie & Iggy back in the day which was great! Than producer Hal Willner read some of Lou’s lyrics while Jon, Don & I made some noise behind him. Next up was actress Natasha Lyonne reading the lyrics to Coney Island Baby. Ending the entertainment part of the evening was the wonderful legend Nona Hendryx with just bass & guitar accompaniment singing Ride Sally Ride & Walk On The Wild Side. Needless to say the coolest swankiest gig of my life so I had to spring for this amazing box set which was Lou’s last project before he left us. I really hope that some videos & more cool photos emerge from this magic night” – https://www.facebook.com/bbdrums/

“For a glorious sixteen minutes, Boss Hog‘s garage rock fever barely stays on its rails, with Jon Spencer’s guitar twisting and turning at every whiplashed step. Touring behind their first music in 16 years (this year’s Brood Star EP), Spencer, frontwoman Cristina Martinez, and the rest of the band enter KEXP’s studios for a wild, frenetic session that features an impromptu solo from DJ Troy Nelson as a result of Spencer leaving the room and handing off his guitar to the unsuspecting host. Recorded 07/12/2016 – 4 songs: Wichita Grey, Winn Coma, Fix Me, Disgrace”
