“Crowd work and communication is one of Jon Spencer’s greatest strength, making any size venue intimate and passionate. Finding and filling those moments when the rhythm section riffs to preach, plead and cry to the crowd in blues sermons about women, liquor, love and heartbreak all punctuated with call and response from the audience. He commanded us to clap and keep rhythm, “You gotta work!” he growls to the enthusiastic crowd and we respond “Yeah!!!”
The space between Spencer’s funky soulful guitar riffs was filled powerfully by his two piece rhythm section, the drums and bass of Spider Bowman and Kendall Wind both only 22 years old and playing with a heavy, chunky precision that belies their years. They filled the room around Spencer when he shifted into preacher mode. The power trio had constant communication both verbally and physically with Jon skating around the stage to rub up against Spider as he assaulted his stripped down drum kit and Kendall smiling and chuckling more than once at Jon’s eyebrow nods of communication about where they were driving the song. Most of the time her eyes were closed, not needing to see, instead her head and body feeling it.” – Dean Giagni (radioradiox.com)
“…the most rocking Sunday night, ever!” – Thomas Lewis
