Fans of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion will be pleased with Heavy Trash, Spencer's newest incarnation in partnership with Matt Verta-Ray (Speedball Baby).
Heavy Trash is actually less filling than the JSBE, but still tastes great. Drawing heavily on surf, 50s rockabilly, gospel yowls and growls, and greasy hip-shaking, fever-inducing boogie woogie, Heavy Trash is heavy on the harmonies, heavy on the infectious groove and right on the money.
Think Dexter Romweber on crack. Southern Culture on the Skids at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, Charlie Feathers, and Gene Vincent. Yes, y'all, you get the picture. This is the real deal - twangy, creepy, groovy, rockin' - like Sun Studios after hours with booze-fueled, drug addled ramblings and ravings. Lots of feedback, reverb, whammy bar, and sexual tension.

10/22/05 at Pappy & Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, Joshua Tree
