2012: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – All Tomorrow’s Parties, Butlins, Minehead, Somerset, UK

“Performance of the night though, by some distance, came from The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Machine-gunning out their own brand of the great American song-book for the last 20 years, it’s some wonder they have all the energy, enthusiasm and raw power still at their disposal. But have it they do, and by the bucket-load, keeping us rapt and playing on well after two o’clock in the morning. Judah Bauer, Russell Simins, Jon Spencer; you absolutely OWNED ATP!” – thedoublenegative (http://www.thedoublenegative.co.uk/2012/03/field-trip-4-atp-part-one/)

“As a frontman Spencer knows what he’s doing, every peacock strut, every crowd interaction and vocal break has been done a thousand times before in every spit ‘n’ sawdust and dirty rock and roll venue across the world and this is what makes his performance so effortless yet bombastic. Delving into ‘Orange’ they drop in the sensually grinding classic of ‘Sweat’. As the room gyrates Spencer drawls and grunts his way through whilst his and Bauer’s guitars bounce off each other with Simins’ drums twisted and jerking beneath the guitar howls.” – Lee Puddefoot / https://www.clashmusic.com/live/jon-spencer-blues-explosion-live-at-scala-london

1996: Yoko Ono/IMA (w/ Russell Simins) – Knitting Factory, New York City, NY, US

“Her band, IMA, was just a notch above a neighborhood group jamming in a tenement basement, vamping along on rudimentary patterns of reggae, funk or rock. For one song, it set out a quasi-Indian drone while Russell Simins, the drummer, played a resonant metal bowl, and Sean Ono Lennon, who usually played guitar or keyboard, bowed a musical saw. But the band, which also included Timo Ellis on bass, was needed merely to furnish a musical pulse as a backdrop to Ms. Ono’s voice.” – NYTimes.com
