JON SPENCER & the HITmakers invite you to take a trip to WORM TOWN!

Taken from the forthcoming hit record album - SPENCER GETS IT LIT! - Worm Town is a cautionary tale told with swagger and strut.

"Twinkle twinkle little star, tried to run but I didn't get far," croons Spencer, spinning his story over funky industrial percussion, chicken-scratch guitar, and interplanetary synths. Worm Town is a truly electric funeral, a futuristic fable for the 21st Centry and beyond.

In a place truly out of time and space, the video - made long distance using the most modern computer and satellite technologies - sees Spencer and the HITmakers caught in a vicious time loop, heading for moral reckoning and an almost certain demise.

Spencer explains, "You can have all the money in the world, luxury yachts, oil wells, and command an army, but when your time is up - none of that will matter - you got to go. And what you reap, you gonna sow"

Spencer Gets It Lit is classic Jon Spencer taken to the extremis – electro-boogie, constructivist art pop, a psychedelic swamp of industrial sleaze and futurist elegance. It is an epic master work of freak beat from the world’s weirdest garage. Across brain-boggling layers of fury, fuzz guitar, and a crash-bang battery of phaser blasts, photon torpedoes, and otherworldly zounds, he frantically spits, croons, rhapsodizes, and seduces. Spencer Gets It Lit is his most complex and groovy record in years, a dark, danceable odyssey – both a studied take-down of the early 21st century, and a celebration of the place where electricity meets the mind.

Thirteen wicked hot songs of love, loss, lust, life — from the Farfisa-fueled,warped psycho -punk rave-up of “Junk Man,” to the intimate lover's plea of “My Hit Parade,” to the outer-space end-of-days country funk of “Worm Town," Spencer Gets It Lit delivers all of the friction, excitement, and post-modern depravity one could ever ask for!

Says Spencer, "Send out the Hit Signal! This is the most uncompromising album I've ever made!"

Joining the HITmakers on the tour will be Janet Weiss! (Sleater Kinney, Wild Flag, The Jicks, Quasi, etc). Spencer says, "As a long-time fan of her wicked drumming style, I am so very excited to have this opportunity to play with Janet!"

Every show will be opened by a full set from Janet and HITmaker Sam Coomes championship tag-team, Quasi!

Guaranteed to be a tour for the ages!!!

True heroes of the underground!

Freak forces combined and multiplied in this indie-rock dream bill!
