The Man is back and ready to rock, roll, and rumble! Jon Spencer brings his high-energy rhythm & punk-blues review to the West Coast. From Vancouver to San Diego, Spencer will be playing ALL of the hits - from PUSSY GALORE to HEAVY TRASH! The BLUES EXPLOSION! HITMAKERS! And of course, selections from the brand-new, white-hot SONGS OF PERSONAL LOSS AND PROTEST.

Joining in the feedback frenzy will be support from the hottest new New York City upstarts, GENRE IS DEATH! This sexy young duo will blow minds with their limitation-destroying noise. Minimal and overwhelming sounds - cacophonous guitar shrieks of power and madness combined with bass lines that oscillate from funky to erratic dissonance. Check out their debut album, 'Attractive People’, available on In The Red Records, and get there early, as theirs is a show not to be missed!

 “I’m in a time of spiritual reckoning,” Jon confides. “These past few years there has been a lot of emotional conflict and personal loss — the passing of time takes its toll.  Losing friends, losing family, and all of this set against a world gone topsy turvy where it feels like we are losing basic freedoms… I’m trying to balance a lot of things, but the answer is always rock’n’roll.”

 

Can rock’n’roll change the world?

 

Jon Spencer says YES.

 

 “I’m in a time of spiritual reckoning,” Jon confides. “These past few years there has been a lot of emotional conflict and personal loss — the passing of time takes its toll.  Losing friends, losing family, and all of this set against a world gone topsy turvy where it feels like we are losing basic freedoms… I’m trying to balance a lot of things, but the answer is always rock’n’roll.”

 

Across twelve brand new songs, Jon tears his heart out singing songs torn from the front page and beyond: futuristic power blues and garage-punk explosion-isms about the nausea and paranoia delivered by a reality show president, and the power and resilience it takes to rebel. It is all deeply personal — the fight to create and live and push back against the dark forces —  but he never loses sight that we’re all in this together.

 

 “Rock’n’roll is America’s true gift to the world — the sound of revolution! It came out of the sky, a screaming, chrome-plated flying saucer, like an outer space monster, landed here on Earth so the freaks could have their say. It  is the hip-shaking sound of rebellion. The blues is my bible, rock’n’roll is our battle cry!”

 

SONGS OF PERSONAL LOSS AND PROTEST was recorded with Jon’s super-powered touring band, and if you’ve been lucky enough to see them in the past few years — they’ve been playing non-stop, destroying audiences from Akron to Osaka, from San Jose to Santiago  – then you know that Jon is still fronting the world’s greatest rock’n’roll live show: rama-la soul-shaking set for stun, sweat-soaked, and ultimately, beautifully, uplifting.

 

SONGS OF PERSONAL LOSS AND PROTEST is the New New Super Heavy Rock for these Hard Times.

Among the myriad highlights of the duo’s landmark year is the release of their critically acclaimed second full-length album, Vol. II, available everywhere now. In June, the US physical releases of Vol. II and 2024’s Vol. I saw Angine de Poitrine make their debut on nine unique Billboard charts, including #3 on “Top Album Sales,” and #2 on both “Vinyl Albums” and “Indie Store Album Sales.” Last month then saw Vol. II honored in their home country with Canada’s prestigious 2026 Polaris Prize. In addition, the album’s hit single, “Fabienk,” received this year’s SOCAN Polaris Song Prize, thus making history with Angine de Poitrine becoming the first-ever act to sweep both awards simultaneously.   LISTEN TO VOL. I & VOL. II  PURCHASE VOL. I & VOL. II ON CD OR VINYL    Along with a seemingly non-stop live itinerary that has seen rapturous audiences at sold-out, increasingly larger venues and show-stopping festival appearances around the globe, Angine de Poitrine recently made their US late-night TV debut with an unforgettable performance of the brand-new song, “Zugzegk,” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.   WATCH ANGINE DE POITRINE PERFORM “ZUGZEGK”  ON THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON
