What does it take to get a new Blues Explosion record? Maybe it takes simple determination? Maybe it's the simple passing of time? Maybe it's revisiting your entire catalog and then reissuing it which makes you fall in love again? With [...]

ARTIST: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Keeps It Simple As guitarist Judah Bauer explains, Meat + Bone is a mindset as much as it is a great new album. DATE: 10-18-12 WRITER: Bill Adams PHOTO: Stefano Giovannini The tone in Judah Bauer's voice would have you believe that everything is just business as usual at the moment. At the beginning of his conversation with Ground Control , the guitarist is almost cavalier as he checks batteries and packs equipment for the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's [...]

Not only that, but the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion show, previously scheduled at the Basement that same night, has been moved to the Newport, sharing the bill with Divine Fits, Cold Cave and People's Temple.

Words: Simon Opie Veterans Day is 11/11 in the USA and late June here in the UK. Musically, it seems to be sometime in September as the month has been subject to a mountain of releases from veteran bands. Amongst others, there were offerings from Green Day , Calexico , No Doubt and, yes, even the still going strong ZZ Top too, maybe even renewed by the derivative blues revival inspired by the success of The [...]

Tornano a otto anni di distanza da “Damage” i ragazzacci più “acci” del blues, pionieri (nel lontano 1992) di un genere alla cui fonte si sarebbero abbeverati con enorme successo band come White Stripes e Black Keys . Per la verità, ognuno dei membri ha riempito lo iato con collaborazioni varie e progetti paralleli ( Jon con gli Heavy Trash e Russel Simins con i Men Without Pants , mentre Judah Bauer partecipa all’ultimo album di Cat Power ), e i capitoli pregiati della loro discografia sono stati [...]

Door de aanhoudende stroom van heruitgaven, compilaties met oud materiaal en soloprojecten had ik het niet eens door. Toch is het alweer acht jaar geleden dat The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion met nieuw materiaal kwam. Damage en voorganger Heavy Fang...
Nik Kershaw: “Eight” If you only know Nik Kershaw for “Wouldn't It Be Good,” or as the guy who tripped onstage at Live Aid, then you've missed out on some great albums full of pop perfection. On his eighth studio CD, oddly enough titled “Eight,” we find the anglophile auteur in love and making some of the best crafted love songs since The Beatles (or at least Squeeze.) Rick Springfield: “Songs For The End Of The World” The eighties [...]
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's character remains firmly intact with rock n’ roll placing it’s foot firmly over 'Meat and Bone'. Mom & Pop Music, 2012 8.8 / 10.0 Clawing their way through your mind and liver, and subverting their way through every blues sub genre within their 12 [...]

After almost exactly eight years without a studio album, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion returns to the racks with Meat and Bone. It lacks the often outlandish stylistic extremes of their most celebrated work, instead striving to stir up the power trio punk blooze that’s always been the guts of their thing. But if the record holds enough gusto to surpass their previous two studio efforts, it’s ultimately hindered by possible inhibitions over just how to reenter the musical fray. Throughout their impressive ‘90s run, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was an [...]

"Non mais tu comprends, la Blogo et leur musique de barbus qui pleurent..." "Encore un truc de dépressif, j'imagine" "Ouais, les Soirées de Poche c'est chouette, mais c'est souvent de la jolie musique qui fait pas mal" "De toute façon, la Blogo va pas aimer, y'a pas de Ukulélé". Et merde, tiens. Demain, on fait mentir tout le monde et trembler les murs. On accueille The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion en Soirée de Poche. Et avec un peu de chance, vous pourrez venir jeter un peu de sueur [...]
