Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Middle East, Cambridge: Photos / Review

“Pacing the stage like a panther, he would crouch down, jump up, do a theremin drive-by, and even enter the audience where he ended up taking a pair of eyeglasses from an unsuspecting fan.”

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – GroundControlMag.com: Interview / Live Review


“There is no overstatement in that – it’s just that good – but Bauer modestly explains that the overall ‘return to basics’ feel was very much on his mind when it came to recording the album. “I don’t know if I can speak to the motivation that Jon and Russell had when it came to the sounds on Meat + Bone, but my plan was to do the record quick and do it cheap,” says Bauer with a laugh as he recalls the recording sessions which yielded the Blues Explosion’s first album in eight years.”

CultureMob.com: Judah Bauer Interview

TM: Has your songwriting process changed?

JB: That’s exactly the same… It’s just jamming. Anyone can start a song, everyone comes up with their parts. Maybe for a few songs here and there on the first record, or a song like ‘Shirt Jac’ — otherwise everything else is written as a collective. It could be conversations, talking about things. Like ‘Sweat’ — it’s an opinion we had about current music.”
