“His 45-minute set was minimalist and coarse, unrefined rock with lurching rhythms and awkward spaces between notes, topped with Spencer’s hallmark affected yelps.”
“Spencer’s guitar was all jagged skronk. What’s best described as “miscellaneous percussion” was played on an empty automobile gas tank and, yes, a trash can. It’s surely the type of anti-virtuoso racket that’s harder to play than it looks.” – John Serba / localspins.com
nb. The band was later to become known as ‘Jon Spencer & The HITmakers’
