Have these songs gradually mutated from their recorded forms during the tours?
Yes, please let your readers know that they are even more wild now than on the record! And I’m so happy to be playing now not just with Bob but with Sam and Sord who were the guys who helped me make the record.”
IrishNews.com have recently posted a new interview with Jon Spencer.
“Every time I see Jon Spencer live in any capacity, I can’t help but think he’s got to be the hardest working man in garage rock show business. This guy doesn’t stop moving the entire set. He’s like James Brown crossed with Stevie Ray Vaughan in the bizarro world.”Jon Spencer – Bar Brooklyn, Debaser, Stockholm, Sweden (13 November 2019).
“Un concert de Spencer c’est toujours la garantie d’assister au spectacle d’une bête sauvage d’une classe folle assistée par un groupe de la mort.”
Jon Spencer & The HITmakers – Ninkasi Gerland/ Kao, Lyon, France (7 November 2019)

Jon Spencer & The HITmakers – Ghost and Dang live on the Skyline Sessions / Houston Public Media, Houston, TX (19 January 2019).
“Woodstock, NY band The Bobby Lees have released a new single, “GutterMilk.” The track was produced by Jon Spencer (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Pussy Galore, Boss Hog) and brandishes 98 seconds of expertly crafted garage punk at its best. The Bobby Lees are unleashing the track by way of a video directed by John Swab (Let Me Make You a Martyr) who they note, “wanted to capture our energy in an abandoned building with destroyed elements surrounding us.”” – Vents Magazine
“I’m playing in a band because I love these kinds of sounds, this kind of music. It’s always come from a place of devotion — it’s an obsession. I certainly never set out thinking this is a good job, that this could be a career, or that I’m gonna make some money. It’s because I’ve got the bug in me. That’s it. I’ve still got the virus!”
Guitar World have just published a new interview with Jon Spencer.
