Hail, hail rock 'n' roll! And all hail the The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion! Back with a brand new album and an Australian tour in August 2015.
Freedom Tower - No Wave Dance Party 2015 be thy album name and it's every bit as triumphant and exciting as the title would suggest. Like the best sides that percolated up from the Bronx, the Lower East Side, and Greenwich Village across the 1970s and '80s, Freedom Tower is more than a high-octane dance party record, it is a document of New York City, a chronicle of grit and terror and love!
'A record as chaotic and full of life as the city that inspired it, Freedom Tower sweats with feverish energy." Consequence Of Sound
For nearly a quarter-century the Blues Explosion have been sweating, freezing, eating, drinking, fucking, fighting, winning, and losing in New York City, perpetrating some of the most timeless moments of musical mayhem in the history of Manhattan and beyond.
' greasy riffs, twanging licks, tight drumbeats, banging, clattering, handclapping, and leather-trousered ass wiggling .expertly rendered, precisely messy, irresistibly life-affirming punky, funky rock 'n' roll.” Under The Radar
JSBX will play a headline appearance at Supersense - Melbourne's newest cultural event - also featuring John Cale, Lydia Lunch, Mark Ribot, Chris Abrahams (The Necks), HTRK and more. It's a (super) sensory overload with the Blues Explosion being the proud bearers of the 'overload'. Elsewhere The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion will lift the roof off venues in New Zealand, Brisbane, Sydney, Hobart and Perth.
" JSBX brings everything they have to the performance. Its a S-H-O-W in all caps, with Jon Spencer presiding as carnival barker, MC, chief entertainer and all around head get-down honcho for the evening". - Dagger Zine live review May 2015
There are eight million stories in the Naked City - but there is only one Blues Explosion!
