The double bill at Lark Hall Tuesday night was the perfect antidote to the January blues as we leave that most miserable of months with a fond “Good riddance.” A decent size crowd at this fine venue was treated to a potent double whammy of weird, that being Jon Spencer and the Hitmakers, with special guest Blood

Jon Spencer is a man who needs no introduction, enjoying a legendary career with The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Pussy Galore, Boss Hog and Heavy Trash. Last year saw Spencer release his first proper solo album, Spencer Sings the Hits!, which was released via In The Red Recordings.

Jon Spencer has been slogging it out on the front line of the trashy garage war for so long he’s got foxholes named after him. As the primary or co-leader of vaunted groups like Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, Heavy Trash and now the HITmakers, his resume is unassailable.
