Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Interview
Il faut toujours se méfier d'un monstre qui sommeille. Après quelques années de latence, les Blues Explosion de Jon Spencer ressortent leurs griffes avec une réédition d'albums et quelques lives explosifs. De passage par la capitale, SFR Music en a profité pour rendre visite à leur charismatique chanteur à la voix de velours. Rencontre.

HEAVY TRASH
PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
On stage and in the studio, Jon Spencer, has destroyed and rebuilt American roots music with such ferocity and wild abandon it is hard to believe that there is anything left. The trail of musical destruction in the wake of his groovy hate-fuck combo Pussy Galore still smolders with the stench of avant punk trash and nasty garage ooze and grind, while his towering work with The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion remains an indelible totem to his enormous mojo spirit and red-hot power of deliverance. He is Daddy Boss Hog! He is the Blues Exploder and Microphone Destroyer! A Gibson Brother! The man who shared a Chicken Dog with Rufus Thomas, got Soul with R.L. Burnside, and enjoyed a greasy Lap Dance with Andre Williams! He is The Man Who Loved too Much!!! Now, with his pal Matt Verta-Ray, he has become the Heavy Trash, and is inviting you to a Midnight Soul Serenade.
Matt Verta-Ray grew up in the loving arms of left wing parents who would take him to folk and blues shows long before he sprouted sideburns. (His mother passed away in the '90s, still angry that Dylan had gone electric, despite the fact - Matt is quick to point out - that she owned tons of Sun rockabilly 78s, which he very gratefully still has.) In the late '70s, young Matt found himself one of only twelve people who went to see Bo Diddley at a Canadian fairground. After the show, Bo came out and preached to Matt for an hour about the dark secrets of rock'n'roll. And the rest, as they say, is history - from sitting on the edge of the stage with Bo, to thumping bass for Madder Rose, and then onto his hard-wired decontructionist rootsabilly band Speedball Baby, where he developed his slashing-dagger guitar style - to forming Heavy Trash with his friend Jon Spencer. Matt is also the mad scientist behind the jungle of tube amps and old-school echo machines that form the mutated nucleus of his analog cave, world-class recording studio NY Hed, where musicians come from all over the galaxy to learn the dark secrets of the Midnight Soul Serenade.

Black Pistol Fire is a Rock and Roll duo originally from Toronto, Canada now based out of Austin, Texas. Their sound has been described as a mix of classic southern rock and garage punk. Comparisons span many sub-genres and eras. They are most often compared to early Kings of Leon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Black Keys, and Clutch.
Black Pistol Fire features Kevin McKeown on Guitar/Lead Vocals and Eric Owen on Drums. The two have been friends since Kindergarten and began playing music together when they found they had a shared passion for Rock and Roll music in high school. They were two members of the Rock and Roll trio The Shenanigans. With The Shenanigans, they recorded an LP titled Bombshell Baby. After things with The Shenanigans and Toronto got stale, the two wanted a change of scenery and to try out something new. Austin, Texas seemed like the perfect place to go. They then packed up their instruments and a bag of clothes and headed south.
In Austin, the two began rehearsing as a duo. They had previously done this to write songs for The Shenanigans, but knew that this time around there would be no bass added in after. They soaked up all that the Austin music scene had to offer which definitely gave their music a more "southern" sound. They lived in poverty eating a steady diet of potatoes while rehearsing, writing, and creating new material in a garage they had rented.
While playing a local Austin hotspot, Producer Jim Diamond (The White Stripes, The Von Bondies, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) approached the band about recording their next record. That album was recorded in 2 separate sessions, in an abandoned building in Detroit in about 20 hours. The album was recorded, mainly off the floor on to 2" tape. The filth from Detroit and the dust of Central Texas can all be heard on Black Pistol Fire's debut LP which is slated for a February 2011 release.
Black Pistol Fire plans on touring North America and Europe relentlessly this coming year playing clubs, festivals, saloons, colleges, and anywhere else unsuspecting music fans can have heads turned and asses kicked. For the live show is truly where Black Pistol Fire thrives.
