"I listened to RIGHT NOW! and SUGARSHIT SHARP all day yesterday in preparation for the show. There was a part of me that was worried whether they wouldn’t be able to pick up where they left off. Time moves on, people change, they get better at their instruments, they lose a little bit of the rawness and anger that made those records just explode. But Pussy Galore did not disappoint AT ALL. They hit the stage and did not let up for a second. The band — Jon Spencer, Julie Cafritz, Kurt Wolf and Bob Bert — kicked it off with “You Look Like a Jew” from GROOVY HATE FUCK and powered through fifteen or so songs in about a half hour. Spencer laid off the mic between songs but the smile that overtook his face throughout the show spoke volumes. They were so forceful and unrepentant. They did the legacy proud and I hope they aren’t ready to go away just yet — the kids of today need a band like Pussy Galore to teach them that it is okay to hate things and to yell about them but you can do it with humor and artistry. One of the greatest bands of the 80s just saw their legend grow a little bit tonight." - Tom Scharpling Visit YoLaTengo.com [LINK] to read the full entry for Night 4 from the 2011 Hanukkah Diary. links:  yolatengo.com / twitter.com/therealylt /  youtube.com/watch?v=8eTdO350UIw CAT POWER - KING RIDES BY: VIDEO / CHARITY DOWNLOAD DATE: 24.DECEMBER.2011 "Visit catpowermusic.com [LINK] to help Cat Power and Manny Pacquiao give to those in need this holiday season and download the song.

It's still coming together and the way we're playing a song now could inevitably change, and what we do with it in the studio that's a whole different variable in the equation, but a lot of the material seems to be quite, I don't know, aggressive. It seems a bit like we've gotten back to some of the aggression, the confrontational nature of the earlier material. It's not as crazy as the stuff we did in the first two or three years, but there seems to be a little flavor of that."

FINAL US SHOWS FOR 2011! ONLY ONE BAND COULD ATTEMPT SUCH A FEAT OF SUPER-SOUL-SHOWMANSHIP! ONLY THE BLUES EXPLOSION WOULD BE SO BOLD! SPANNING THE GLOBE TO BRING YOU OUTTA CONTROL ROCK 'N' ROLL! SUPER DELUXE BLUES EXPLOSION REISSUES IN STORES NOW! “The early-2000s garage rock revival has given us a new context to hear these disarrayed blues-rock excursions, which similarly peel back the layers to get to rock's core elements. The Blues Explosion seem ripe for re-evaluation.” - Pitchfork The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the fiery New York-based punk-blues pioneers are playing three select West Coast shows next month. The band managed to fit these shows into an insane four continent schedule that takes on Europe, Japan and North and South America, and recently completed a hugely successful run of several East Coast and Southern US towns for the first time in over seven years. 2011 kicked off with the band making a splash with their raucous cover of Ram Jam's 'Black Betty' in Volkswagen’s Super Bowl XLV ad [LINK]. In addition, the JSBX toured Australia and New Zealand, in support of the band’s massive reissue campaign featuring the seminal, long-out-of-print albums - Now I Got Worry, Acme, Extra Width and Orange and the extremely rare live album, Controversial Negro - all lovingly remastered and released by Majordomo Records/Shout! Factory as physical packages and available digitally for the first time. Limited edition vinyl reissues of Now I Got Worry, Extra Width and Orange are also available through Shove/Virtual Records. Each reissue includes a plethora of unreleased tracks handpicked by Jon Spencer, including new photos and essays, leading All Music Guide to declare, “For ten years, JSBE gave indie rock, grunge and everything that came after a gigantic, righteous middle finger." “The shows have been amazing, we've had a string of knockouts. It feels so good to be blowing minds with the BX again. Judah Bauer, Russell Simins, and myself are on a roll, and moving into the future - got a trick bag of new tunes, can't wait to whip 'em on the people!"
