BV Presents: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion at a last minute, intimate 'Meat and Bone' release show (win tix to get in)

Jon Spencer

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are releasing their new album, Meat and Bone, next week (9/18) and as mentioned, they’ll be touring in support of it this fall and hitting NYC on November 3 at Bowery Ballroom with Ava Luna. Tickets for that show are still available.

But if you don’t want to wait that long to see Jon and his band in NYC — not to mention a more intimate location — you’re in luck. We’re happy to announce that they’ll be playing a surprise BrooklynVegan-sponsored record release party in at The Bowery Electric on the date of the album’s release (9/18) with DJ Jonathan Toubin and free ice cream. The only way to get in to the show is to buy the album at Other Music starting Friday (9/14) for guaranteed entry or enter the BrooklynVegan contest to win a spot on the guestlist. Details on how to enter the contest are below.

We posted the Meat and Bone track, “Black Mold” a while back and the JSBX have just revealed another cut from the album, “Bag of Bones.” Take a listen to that song, plus check out the contest details and a list of updated dates, below.
