The tour is in promotion of Spencer’s first Hitmakers album, Spencer Gets It Lit, which was released in April. It was preceded by three singles, “Junk Man,” “Primary Baby,” and “Worm Town.” “This is the most uncompromising album I’ve ever made,” he said of the record.

Spencer, who has also worked with Boss Hog, Heavy Trash, and Pussy Galore, assembled the group after disbanding his previous act of 25 years, Jon Spencer’s Blues Explosion, in 2016.

In addition to Spencer, the band includes Bob Bert, a fellow former member of Pussy Galore and one of Sonic Youth’s early drummers, as well as Sam Coomes, one half of Portland indie duo Quasi and a bassist for Elliot Smith’s Heatmiser during the group’s final years.
