Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

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.

the really great cd is "Orange," from 1994. The other really good one is "Now I Got Worry," from 1996. The others all have a few good songs, though. They killed last year at Matador 21.

@4:28 - I'd say start with Orange and work your way back. Though if you're a Pussy Galore fan, maybe just start and stop with Crypt Style. I could never get into anything after Orange.
