If you’ve never heard of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion than I envy you, because now you get to listen to their entire back-catalog at once and be pumped full of crunchy, bluesy guitar-rock fit for an urban hillbilly, sans all the Ozark-isms that normally stigmatize this type of music.
According to Brooklyn Vegan:
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion spent a good portion of the past year touring in support of reissues stuffed with rare/unreleased tracks, including appearances at Matador 21, Pitchfork, and other dates. The band’s other recent accomplishments include a split with Melvins on AmRep and a SuperBowl commercial. In the future you can catch the the NYC trio on October 13th at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ. Tickets are on sale. So far no other dates have surfaced.
So get at those tickets before they sell out and enjoy the pure, unfiltered fun of their song “Bellbottoms” below:
