PremierGuitar.com – Jon Spencer / Judah Bauer: Interview

“Was a bass-less, dual-guitar approach avant garde in 1991 when you guys started out?
Bauer: Not coming from the scene or the influences I was in. I mean, we had Hound Dog Taylor, we had the Cramps. It was kind of normal from my point of view. Even in the bands I was in as a kid, there was no bass player—everyone seemed to have guitars lying around but no bass. It was happening, y’know? We didn’t need the bass. On some records I’ve played bass or Jon has played bass here and there, but not a lot—and definitely not on this record.”
