Jon Spencer & the HITmakers - SPENCER GETS IT LIT!

In The Red

Spencer Gets It Lit is classic Jon Spencer taken to the extremis – electro-boogie, constructivist art pop, a psychedelic swamp of industrial sleaze and futurist elegance. It is an epic master work of freak beat from the world’s weirdest garage. Across brain-boggling layers of fury, fuzz guitar, and a crash-bang battery of phaser blasts, photon torpedoes, and otherworldly zounds, he frantically spits, croons, rhapsodizes, and seduces. Spencer Gets It Lit is his most complex and groovy record in years, a dark, danceable odyssey – both a studied take-down of the early 21st century, and a celebration of the place where electricity meets the mind.

Thirteen wicked hot songs of love, loss, lust, life — from the Farfisa-fueled, warped psycho -punk rave-up of “Junk Man,” to the intimate lover’s plea of “My Hit Parade,” to the outer-space end-of-days country funk of “Worm Town,” Spencer Gets It Lit delivers all of the friction, excitement, and post-modern depravity one could ever ask for!

Says Spencer“Send out the Hit Signal! This is the most uncompromising album I’ve ever made!”

And the HITs just keep on coming!

Joining the HITmakers on the tour will be Janet Weiss! (Sleater Kinney, Wild Flag, The Jicks, Quasi, etc). Spencer says, “As a long-time fan of her wicked drumming style, I am so very excited to have this opportunity to play with Janet!”

Every show will be opened by a full set from Janet and HITmaker Sam Coomes championship tag-team, Quasi!
