“Las expectativas eran altas para el grueso de los presentes, que siguen ubicando el proyecto de Spencer y Cristina en ese compartimento íntimo en el que uno guarda el relicario del rock creíble que sobrevive por el mundo. ¿Actitud? Toda la esperable y más. La apertura, con la diva extremeño-cubana cantando ‘Disgrace’ entre el público, resultó una declaración de principios: españolitos, venimos a enseñaros un par de cosas sobre rock and roll.”
Review of Boss Hog live at Sala Planata Baja, Granada, Spain on 13 June 2018.

“Attempting to encapsulate Boss Hog’s style, Jonathan Ringen of The New York Times last year came up with, “Mr. Spencer and his various collaborators channeled rockabilly ghosts and punk weirdness into a crackling electric riff-heavy sound.” When it comes to description, I favor a Wikipedia riff of the band’s 1995 debut on a major label: “The sleazy glam-punk sound of abrasive buzzsaw guitar and part-sneering, part-shouted vocals continued largely unabated,” the reviewer writes. “Fans and critics ate it up like pancakes on Christmas morning.” Also worthy of mention is reviewer David Sprague’s pithy evaluation of Boss Hog as evolving from a conceptual exercise in art-rock carnality into a legit, earthy dirt-blues band.”

Postal Recording have just posted this image of S-E-R-V-I-C-E in the studio with the caption “Getting Serviced with @gimmesomeservice“.
Three new editions of the BLACKUP / Brat Farrar split 7″ are now available from the Slice of Wax Records website on Red, Gold or Bloody Gold vinyl (available individually or as a bundle).
The Bloody Gold version is limited to 60 copies and includes two hand-numbered and screen printed cards designed by Xavier Benoit.
Red and Gold vinyl are limited to 120 copies each.
Available Here: http://sliceofwaxrecords.tictail.com
The Blackup track (‘Left To Right’) was originally released on the album Ease & Delight on which Jon Spencer is credited with “some pre-production”.
“5:15 p.m.: Birdsong sticks around after the White Moms’ set to play guitar, keyboards and drums in Service, a scorched-earth beast with a rock ‘n’ reputation that proceeds it. Jilly Weiss previously sang in We Are Hex, bass player John Zeps has played in perhaps dozens of Indianapolis bands and drummer Russell Simins now lives in Indiana after making his name as a member of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The fifth member of Service appears to be its glue: guitarist Mitch Geisinger. His economical style is all killer and no filler, which adds a sledgehammer to Simins’ dirty-blues tendencies. Meanwhile, Weiss captivates every onlooker thanks to her metal head-banging, Roger Daltrey mic-cord tricks and Elvis-worthy arm thrusts. Lyrically, she shows a provocative side with, “I don’t know what to do with my body; I’m so glad that you do.”” – IndyStar.com
“when Jilly steps into the ring—ain’t no playing’.” – Luna Music
A new featured on RevolverMag.com features Buzz Osborne discussing the Pussy Galore album Sugarshit Sharp:
“The Melvins played with Pussy Galore in ’88 or ’89, and that was when they really put the hook in me. About halfway through their show I was like, “You know, I really like this.” And it went from there. This album is just an EP, but I think it’s their best record. It’s like the Cramps playing industrial music. And Jon Spencer is one of these guys that I think is one of the greatest, most unheralded guitar players ever. You never hear anybody talk about what a great guitar player Jon Spencer is. It doesn’t make any sense to me. I like this record all the way through. I like their “fuck you” attitude, I like the way it sounds. I like the performances. I like Jon in general. I think his sensibilities are really great. I’ve always been a big fan of his, no matter what he did.”
