The Crocodile Presents: Jon Spencer w/Genre Is Death

Jon Spencer, an American rock musician from Hanover, brings a bill with Genre Is Death to The Sunset Tavern in Seattle, presented by The Crocodile. The concert combines a veteran rock career with a newer act on the same night.

Jon Spencer is an American rock musician who has been active since 1983. Earlier work includes the New York noise-rock band Pussy Galore, and Spencer later led the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, a project built on blues riffs, funk rhythms and punk energy. The first solo album, Old, was released in 1994, and it stands within a catalog that connects garage rock, blues and lo-fi experimentation.

The evening pairs Spencer with Genre Is Death, the act named alongside the headliner. The Sunset Tavern hosts concerts and shows in Seattle, and this night is presented by The Crocodile, the Seattle club.

The bill suits listeners who follow American rock from 1980s noise and punk through blues-based garage styles.
