The diabolical powers that be the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion are set to take 2002 by storm. On April 9, the smooth moving, funk grooving new sounds of their new album, Plastic Fang, will be released on the Matador label. According to Billboard, the record was produced by guest drumming guru Steve Jordan, and features appearances from Elliott Smith,
Parliament/Funkadelic player Bernie Worrell, and Dr. John. Check out Matador’s web site later this month for a free download of the track “Mean Heart.” Later in April (on the 25th to be exact) the Explosion will embark on a 21 show US tour on April 25 in Washington D.C.
