“Even having listened to the entire 75 minute set, I’m not sure exactly what the set list was – I’m not even sure when songs began and ended. Not only was I too mesmerised to really care, but the band never dropped the performance. Not once was there a pause for someone to get a drink, to change guitar picks or to bore the audience with a lot of talking. It was as if some kind of rock ‘n’ roll perpetual motion drove the night.” – Carly Kocurek

2006: Solex, Cristina Martinez and Jon Spencer – Studio Aftrap, King Street, Amsterdam – working on Amsterdam Throwdown King Street Showdown!

“Not long after that Jon contacted me during his Cold Cut tour where he was one of their guests. He had 4 days off and decided to fly in from London to Amsterdam. Cristina flew in from New York to join in for those 4 days. Mike Ladd was also a guest on this Cold Cut tour so he also had 4 days off. Together with his friend Vijay Iyer he dropped by during one of those evenings for some recordings.” – Solex / Fartilizer: Interview (PRESS, EU)

HITmakers show #67

“A consummate showman, Spencer worked the stage like a seasoned pro. Clad head to toe in dark denim, he struck rock poses with a beat-up cheap-looking guitar. Amid the sonic spectacle, Spencer appeared 10 feet tall, towering over the audience as he delivered the occasional mid-song soliloquy, sounding a bit like Elvis on drugs ranting over the public address system at Wal-mart.

The HITmakers played a collection of songs from throughout Spencer’s career but the bulk of the material seemed to come from the new solo album. On “Do the Trashcan,” the album’s first single, Bert was able to take this admonition literally as he pummeled a metal trash can with his hammers. The combination of a conventional drum kit helmed by M. Sord and the unorthodox collection of tools and junk battered by Burt built a thick and groovy foundation for the music, as evidenced by the small but enthusiastic audience dancing to every song. Standouts from the latest album included “Ghost” and “Time 2 Be Bad.” Amid his most recent material, Spencer peppered his setlist with songs from Pussy Galore, including “New Breed” and “Just Want to Die.” – David Gill / riffmagazine.com

“New Yorkers Pussy Galore are yet another one of those groups who induce much knicker-wetting and can do no wrong. Tight-edged buzz thrash scratch metal on metal…the kids trash up the garage while pop’s at the office.

Bob Bert bashes a Cadillac and Jon Spencer’s long drawn-out drawl of the “f” and “c” words is at the forefront of each sweaty, adolescent mind and by tradition, the customary, predominantly male, audience grabs its sappy crotch and flings itself into bum-fluff, ass-gripping contact. The mental groove has a message: rock out heavy f***in’ killer, keep playin’, keep hatin’.” – Jacqueline Hart / Melody Maker

“Late in the set Marshall gave the band a formal introduction through the time honored tradition of roll-call solos, something that was entirely refreshing considering the professionalism that attracts such gestures. Closing a brief encore with a rendition of Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You,” the band quietly exited the stage, leaving Marshall to wave and thank the crowd with appreciation of their packing the house for the show; and quite the show it was.” – Chris Deline
