The Blues Explosion is Back!

I didn't even realize that the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion was working on a new album.

But I'll be a dog -- according to Rolling Stone online, they've completed a new record called Meat and Bone, the group's first album in eight years.

"Recorded on Sly Stone's own "Riot" Flickinger console at the Key Club Studio in Benton Harbor, Michigan, the crunchy new LP finds Spencer, Judah Bauer and Russel Simins returning to their scuzzy blues basics ... 

And you can listen to the whole thing HERE.

Bob Log III to Roll Into Santa Fe

There's a free (!) show at the Santa Fe Railyard Park this Saturday (Sept. 15). The headliners are The Heartless Bastards. They're ok, but I'm far more excited about the opener, Bob Log III.

For those unaware of Mr. Log, he's a one-man band from Arizona who plays a mean slide guitar, bass drum to accompany his distorted vocals. (He wears a motorcycle helmet on stage.) His sound is so primitive he makes the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion sound like the New York Philharmonic. He's been on two of my favorite labels -- the original Fat Possum Records back when it was the most exciting blues label around and, more recently Voodoo Rhythm, the Swiss company that released his latest album My Shit is Perfect in 2009. (Birdman Records later released it in the U.S.)

I've never seen his solo act, but back in the '90s I saw him with his old band Doo Rag at a Lollapalooza. I was impressed.

The show starts at 6 p.m. in the Railyard.

Check out the Bob Log video below -- and, just for the hell of it, some Doo Rag below that.

Santa Fe Musicians Organize

Some Santa Fe musicians are sick of complaining about the conditions of local music -- low paying gigs, lack of venues, etc. etc. So  they're starting to organize.

John Widell, better known to local music lovers as Johny Broomdust, started a Facebook page for something called the Santa Fe Music Alliance. It's in an embryonic stage right now, but Broomdust and others have plans.

"We plan to form a non-profit for the benefit of Santa Fe musicians," he told me Sunday. In a post on the page, he wrote, "We will incorporate as a non-profit and membership in the cooperative will require an application and perhaps a modest dues payment. We will probably elect a five member board of directors to deal with administrative tasks."

He said that David Waldrup and Mikey Baker are working with him as organizers. They're planning an organizational meeting in the near future.

Here's the working draft mission statement:

"Santa Fe Music Alliance is a non-profit alliance of working Santa Fe musicians and music advocates dedicated to creating a sustainable and vital Santa Fe music scene. SFMA's mission is to coordinate the efforts of musicians, promoters, venues, studios, fans, the City of Santa Fe, and other public and private contributors to make Santa Fe a great place to create, perform, and enjoy live music. SFMA also seeks to make the lives of Santa Fe musicians better by improving and promoting better local venues and festivals, recording and touring opportunities, insurance and other benefits musicians need to survive."

Good luck to 'em. Got any ideas, post 'em on the Facebook page.
