The Bobby Lees – Guttermilk (produced by Jon Spencer)

Posted on August 17, 2019 by admin

“Woodstock, NY band The Bobby Lees have released a new single, “GutterMilk.” The track was produced by Jon Spencer (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Pussy Galore, Boss Hog) and brandishes 98 seconds of expertly crafted garage punk at its best. The Bobby Lees are unleashing the track by way of a video directed by John Swab (Let Me Make You a Martyr) who they note, “wanted to capture our energy in an abandoned building with destroyed elements surrounding us.”” – Vents Magazine

Jon Spencer – Guitar World Interview: “I’ve still got the virus!”

Posted on August 14, 2019 by admin

“I’m playing in a band because I love these kinds of sounds, this kind of music. It’s always come from a place of devotion — it’s an obsession. I certainly never set out thinking this is a good job, that this could be a career, or that I’m gonna make some money. It’s because I’ve got the bug in me. That’s it. I’ve still got the virus!”

Guitar World have just published a new interview with Jon Spencer.

Jon Spencer & The HITmakers – La Poundriere, Belfort: Photos / Review

Posted on May 23, 2019 by admin

“Avec Spencer, c’est désormais un enfer sonore et glacial – les lumières bleues plantent le décor – qui s’ouvre devant la foule belfortaine. Le dandy de 55 ans est là avec sa nouvelle horde, ses HITmakers! Parmi ces quatre cavaliers de l’apocalypse, il y a M. Sord derrière ses fûts qui martèle généreusement ses cymbales et plaque des rythmes épurés. Dans son entreprise, il est rejoint par Bob Bert (ex-Sonic Youth). Après avoir enfilé des gants de travail (!), l’homme empoigne deux marteaux de charpentier qu’il abat ponctuellement sur un réservoir de camion, un ressort moteur, des poubelles galvanisées, … Métal hurlant dans la petite salle voutée!”

Jon Spencer & The HITmakers – La Poundriere, Belfort, France (14 May 2019)

SET LIST:

Do The Trash Can
Just Wanna Die
Fake
Beetle Boots
Hornet
Overload
Cape
Tough Times In Plastic Land
Shirt Jac
NYC: 1999!
