w/ Jesus Lizard and Dolomite

“The next night in Long Beach was pretty great, Sandra didn’t have to lay a finger on anybody. Now that I’m older, there is something to be said for Over-21 shows. Both of these shows featured a lot of new songs, which is cool; but I wanted to hear A Reverse Willie Horton in its entirety! I decided that Son of Sam was the best song that Jon’s ever done and I wondered when it would come out.” – Alright #2

“The most amazing part of seeing the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion live is how seamlessly the three men can play together. There’s a reason this group has been going strong for 20 years and in a day and age of indie bands that hide in their bedrooms and make weepy soundscapes, a little Blues Explosion may be what is needed to break up the catatonia.” – David Harris / spectrumculture.com
