Spencer P Jones’ sideman status, playing second guitar banana on thirty years of canonical Australian classics, obscures his talent.
His latest cross-generational venture ropes in the drummer James Baker, of Eighties retro-rockers The Hoodoo Gurus, and guitarist Gareth Liddiard, of modern day Melborne torchbearers The Drones, on an economic forty-minutes of dirty garage-blues. Jones’ spit-tobacco vocals splatter a succession of stained smoke-curl lead guitar licks, on songs that sound like the work of someone you should already revere.
