When there is absence of shadow, invisibility of the horizon and the discernibility of only very dark objects." BIOGRAPHY: "Once upon a time in a small quaint town called the District of Columbia a young disillusion rebel girl met a young disillusioned rebel boy classic he was new in town she had been around town, twice they hit they fell they decided to leave together. find some action only one city in the world big enough for the both of them New York City Cristina Martinez and Jon Spencer met on the feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1985 at a Jesus & Mary Chain show at the original 9:30 Club in Washington D.C.. Jon had just arrived, a wayward Brown University dropout looking for a way out. But D.C. was no match for Pussy Galore, his now legendary, seminal punk band. Having had their fill of the nations capitol, deeming it “a dead end” and a loser town”, they decided to relocate to New York. bad seeds to the to the rotten apple the boy had a band the girl took pictures, went to film school and bitched a lot couple of years passed Cristina was to attend the New York University Summer Film program but dropped out to fill in as 3rd guitarist for Pussy Galore until it became apparent that she was too bossy. She had to start her own band. in 1989 they did the inevitable started a punk rock band with various degenerate friends [enter Boss Hog] Boss Hog formerly started in 1989 as a last minute fill in for a cancelled group at New York’s famed CBGB’s. Cristina assembled a group of rag-tag players to form the original all star line-up of Boss Hog. It included members of Pussy Galore, the Honeymoon Killers and Unsane. constantly rotating cast of misunderstood misfits very angry, very volatile the perfect medium to express their sense of humour, their love of music they made records as testament to their experience on numerous labels, the details unimportant This line up managed to record their 1989 debut “Drinkin’, Lechin’ & Lyin” EP well as their full-length debut “Cold Hands” in 1990. Both records were well received due in part to the line-up as well as their now legendary eye-catching artwork. This initial line-up of Boss Hog was soon to be fractured due to constant bickering which, on occasion, spilled over into violence. Cristina and Jon searched for new victims. Eventually they found permanent partners in crime. German art student Jens Jurgensen [bass] and Lower East Side scenester Hollis Queens [drums] joined the fold. In 1993, the recorded ‘Girl +’ CD which brought them wide critical acclaim and showed remarkable musical growth. Two years later they recorded Boss Hog on DGC records and began to get the international attention they so deserved. they made this new record, Whiteout with Andy Gill [performer, producer/Gang of Four, Bis], Tore Johansson [producer/Cardigans], J.H. Thirwell [performer, producer/Foetus, Wiseblood, The The], Jim Sclavunous [performer, producer/Bad Seeds, Gunga Din] lots of details, point is, they still play together, pretty damn well, they still get off on it, you should see it, maybe, if they did their job right you can hear it."
