“New York City rock mainstays the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are working on the follow up to 2012’s Meat and Bone with a new record. They’ve also announced a tour that begins with a one-off in Brooklyn in February and continues in April on the West Coast (including Coachella).

In the meanwhile, they’ll release a 12” on April 19, aka Record Store Day—it’s a recorded version of their live mashup of the Beastie Boys’ “She’s on It” with Link Wray’s “Jack the Ripper”.”
