The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Betty vs the NYPD (2015)
Directed by: Michael Lavine
To celebrate the release of their new long-playing record album, Freedom Tower – No Wave Dance Party 2015, the Blues Explosion brought their brand of high-octane street hassling back home to New York a few weeks back, with an unprecedented Five Borough Freedom Tour! Relive all the excitement with this special film report, as they levelled neighborhoods in Staten Island, Manhattan, Jersey City, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Queens! Currently on a three month North American tour, the JSBX will blow through your town this month! One night only! The Blues is #1!
Out June 9 on Burger Records; the cassette version of FREEDOM TOWER! Here’s what Sean Bohrman of Burger has to say about it: “In 1998, I was in high school laying on my bed watching MTV2 when the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s “Talk About The Blues” came on and I immediately sat up. I loved the song, told my friends to check it out, and bought ACME on CD. It became my soundtrack on long drives. Now, through the help of our friendMatt Rendon of The Resonars, we’re on JSBX’s radar and the stars have aligned for us to collaborate on a cassette release of their excellent new album, Freedom Tower!!! Real attracts real, so we’re really honored that this is really happening!!!”
