“Post-punk avant-scuzz-rock classicist Jon Spencer, rocking shades and dressed head to toe in black, was a dead ringer for 1966 Lou, capping a perfect “Venus in Furs” by laying his guitar on the stage, removing his black leather belt, and flogging it while the amps howled. “That’s how it’s done,” said MC and producer Don Fleming glowingly.” – Rolling Stone

This was in a little dive bar and I got right up front for all three bands. One of the guys from Chrome Cranks later told me that this was their first show. Tar was a cool band from Chicago on Amphetamine Reptile records.”

2018: Jon Spencer – First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, US
w/ The Melvins and Yen Yen

HITmakers show #1

“The garage rocker kicks things off with their first single Do the Trash Can. There is a reason they kicked off with this song. IT ROCKS! From the swinging drum intro to the buzzy guitar riff, the song is a great way to wake the crowd up. I knew the Melvins were going to be bringing two bass players out for this show, but I didn’t know that Spencer would be bringing two drummers out! This wasn’t your traditional two drummers, there is one regular drummer and the second drummer was using hammers to bang on metal and other things on his makeshift drum kit. I got a kick out of this and it added that extra bit of garage-y vibe to the set. It didn’t feel like we were watching band on the main stage at First Ave. It felt like were hanging out a Spencers house and he was just jamming for us and other friends.” – TwinCitiesMedia.net

“Indie-rock mainstays Yo La Tengo took the stage next, giving a dreamy acoustic performance of “Take Care,” also from “Third/Sister Lovers”. They then did a spirit-raising rendition of jazz standard “My Baby Just Cares for Me,” which YLT frontman Ira Kaplan noted “wasn’t written by Alex, but we first heard it sung by him”. Kaplan and wife/drummer Georgia Hubley were later joined by fiery garage rocker Jon Spencer, who delivered an explosive (naturally) performance of Chilton’s “Bangkok”.” – Billboard.com

1996: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – VPRO Session, Studio Amstel, Amsterdam, Netherlands

“The Explosion immediately hurl themselves into an unbroken assault on the best of ‘Orange’, ‘Sweat’ is followed by ‘Dang’, and then a dangerously frenzied ‘Full Grown’. At which point, Spencer loses the plot completely. Chucking his guitar to the floor, he paces the stage, kicks his mike stand into the crowd and attacks a hapless photographer. Then, turning to his Theremin, he flicks the switch, does his kung-fu posturing and jumps on the drumkit – all the time bellowing, “My father was Sister Ray.” As the song finishes, Spencer stops shaking, looks up and senses that one last time we need reminding of something really quite important. “Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the “Bloooze Explosion.”” – James Oldham / NME

1999: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – The Sheraton, Vancouver, BC, Canada

“The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion tour van was broken into in the loading dock of The Sheraton in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The window was smashed and a mess of gear was stolen, including mics, amps, rack equipment, and the original 1962 Vanguard Model Theremin.” –

“The Blues Explosion found a pawn shop in Vancouver that they believe was offered the stolen gear, tour manager Dick Meredith said.

“We opened at 10:15, and two guys bring [the instruments] in,” said Ducamh Nguyen, owner of the So Many Things store. “We asked them about it, but they didn’t have picture ID, so we didn’t take it.”

Along with the theremin, thieves nabbed a drum, a sampler, numerous microphones and other equipment, Meredith said. Tour shirts also were taken, one of which was discovered later on a local homeless man.” – http://www.mtv.com/

1988: Pussy Galore – Big Kahuna (New Music Seminar), New York City, NY, US

“Pussy Galore, one of New York’s best bands and a group likely to stay on the the underground circuit because of the harshness of its music, will be performing.”

The Galore group, which will be performing tomorrow at Big Kahuna, has been playing together for three years and is one of the New York scene’s main attractions. Its latest album, “Right Now!” (Caroline), seethes with frustration with the formal and cultural confines of rock. And though the group has been well received critically, the band, with its wild, almost abstracted rock riffing, doesn’t have much of a chance to go beyond the underground audience.

“We’ll never be mainstream,” said Jon Spencer, the band’s lead singer and guitarist. “From the word go-the name isn’t exactly salable – it’s not what we’re about. It’s not what we aspire to. We’re not in it for a job. If that happens, that’s fine.”

“I play music because it makes me feel good,” Mr. Spencer said, “and I hope an audience shares in my joy. I hope there is something left to do in rock, but it doesn’t really seem like it. It would be great if something really wild happened, but now, rock is all references. It seems like rock is totally gone, co-opted. But what isn’t? It’s hard to do anything natural, because you are going up against 30 years of rock and 5 years of beer commercials using rock; a rock-and-roll sensibility seems to be lost.

There’s no way out: once you’ve picked a guitar, you are part of the whole thing.” – Malhar Ferguson – New York Times / “Alternative Is the Word At Festival”
