Jon Spencer – Manchester Academy 3, Manchester, UK (12 September 2024)

Jon Spencer show at Manchester Academy 3, Manchester, UK with Déjà Vega on 12 September 2024.

Greeted by applause and a few stray shouts of “Jon!” from the crowd, Jon strides up to the mic, makes eye contact with the crowd and we are off. From the very first note, we’re drawn into a fusion of punk energy, raw blues riffs, rockabilly swagger and Spencer’s unmistakable howl. The band’s sound is tight and muscular. The mix of punk, blues, and garage rock coming together in a gritty soup of noise that reverberates through the venue’s walls. Spider Bowman’s drums providing the driving force that creates the perfect foundation for Spencer to do what he does best: lead a sonic assault with swaggering confidence. – Paul Evans / allmusicmagazine.com
