The legendary Jon Spencer (of Blues Explosion)returns to Dublin with his new band, the mutant rockabilly machine Heavy Trash.
Heavy Trash
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!!! And while the Blues Explosion is on a rock'n'roll holiday, Jon
has not rested! He has not worked on his tan, he has not read the
latest summer blockbuster!! NO!! Jon Spencer has chosen the righteous
path, and got Way Out with his pal Matt Verta-Ray and the Heavy Trash!!!
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 get... Way Out!!!
