Jon Spencer Blues Explosion is a power trio that started grinding and barreling their way through blues based garage rock a decade before The White Stripes were even a blip on the mainstream radar. Indie-rock purveyors that cut their teeth on the same fanzine scene as bands like Slint, Pavement, and Dinosaur Jr. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion never quite blew up in the post-Nirvana alt-rock smash and grab of the early 90’s. They stuck with their indie-roots and have continued to release albums and tour consistently (with the exception of a 4 year hiatus from 2007 through 2011).
Currently touring behind their newest album, Freedom Tower – No Wave Dance Party, which was released earlier this year with positive reviews. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion will be performing at Zanzabar this Sunday, April 19th. The doors open at 8 PM, show starts at 9 PM – and tickets are still available $15 - $18.
