Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – OttawaSun.com: RBC Bluesfest Review

Posted on July 13, 2013 by admin

“…a blistering set by the bass-less trio consisting of Spencer on vocals and guitar, Judah Bauer on guitar and drummer Russell Simmins. There are no real breaks between songs, instead, the band races off in different directions like a bunch of speeding bandits in a stolen car shouting “Blues Explosion!””

OttawaSun.com have recently published a review of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion set at the RBC Bluesfest, Ottawa, Canada on 11 July 2013.

“The Blues Explosion has always struck me as a reminder for those who lose sight of what’s important in rock ‘n’ roll. Why do people keep forgetting?
I think anyone going to a concert, going out to see a band and getting sweaty, that person doesn’t need to be reminded. There’s always this stuff in the media about the death of the guitar and the demise of live music and bands. I don’t think that’s ever going to go away. It’s part of who we are as animals. It fulfills a very strong need. It’s this very weird, spiritual, communal happening, going to a show.”
