Plastic Fang by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Plastic Fang is an album by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, released in 2002. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “She Said”, on 12 lists with a best position of #70.
Plastic Fang, the seventh official release from the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, landed on Matador in 2002, and it finds the New York City trio cleaning up their punk-blues racket just enough to let the grooves strut. Jon Spencer sings and plays guitar, Judah Bauer adds more guitar, and Russell Simins pounds the drums, and they sound tighter and meaner than ever, with riffs that swagger instead of splatter.
The guest list gives it extra grease: Dr. John, Bernie Worrell and Willie Weeks all drop by, and Chip Kidd handled the design. "She Said" was the single, with a video that casts Spencer as a vampire hunted by nuns, whom he seduces into a mass striptease before a vampiress finishes him off. Some editions came with a bonus DVD, Fang Visual, the Australian one most complete of all. It followed Acme, and Damage came next.
