Our favourite live band Jon Spencer Blues Explosion make a welcome return to the UK next month. The legendary act have announced a four date UK stint, taking in London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham, while they tour Europe.
Here are the dates in full:
Oct 20 Electric Ballroom London, United Kingdom
Oct 21 The Fleece Bristol, United Kingdom
Oct 22 Sound Control Manchester, United Kingdom
Oct 23 The Oobleck Birmingham, United Kingdom
The trio of Spencer, Russell Simms and Judah Bauer formed in 1991 and if you have yet to see them live then this is your chance. We first saw them at Belle and Sebastian’s Bowlie Weekender in 1999 and were blown away by their ferocity. Many more shows have followed and our search for a better live act continues.
The tour is to promote their most recent album Freedom Tower – No Wave Dance Party 2015, which the band bills as “a document of New York City, a chronicle of grit and terror and love”.
