Boss Hog “Action Box” released 30-ish years ago (mid-1991). Double 7″ EP on Amphetamine Reptile Records. Punk blues Boss Hog is Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s Jon Spencer (guitar, vocals) and Cristina Martinez (vocals) along with Jens Jurgensen (bass), Charlie Ondras (drums) and Kurt Wolf (guitar) on this recording. Guest starring on “Black Throat” is Bob Bert (Sonic Youth, Jon Spencer & the Hit Makers), Jim Thirlwell (Foetus) and DJ Cream O’Wheat. It’s such a wild track, originally the theme from a movie made by the Dark Brothers. Also on the EP is “Big Fish,” “Bunny Fly” and “Not Guilty.” The story on the name of the EP is awesome – this from the most excellent Pop-Catastrophe website: Charlie Ondras: “Ever since Cristina, Jon and I met Billy Idol at Jones Beach a couple of years ago, the phrase, ‘More, more, more’ really got into my mind.” Cristina: “We got to go to a Billy Idol photo shoot,” she continues, “and he kept going into the bathroom with his assistant. I wasn’t really paying attention, got bored after he started grabbing his crotch, and left. But I heard the next day that he’s infamous for going to do coke in the bathroom. And then we heard this story…” Jon: “…that he was in the toilet stall getting a blow job and he was yelling, ‘More, more, more!‘” Jon concludes with a flourish.” Charlie: “So after that I started referring to Billy Idol as ‘the action man,’” smirks Charlie. “And ‘action’ was one of the many catch phrases I popularized amongst me and my friends. We were on this tour in Germany, and on the first rest stop we were in, they had these condom machines, and there was this condom package which they sell, two pretty bad condoms, actually……and this mysterious creme in a tube,” Charlie continues enthusiastically, “packaged inside this box with this firework display and wild type on it and it was called the ‘Action Box.’” Cristina: “We tried to duplicate the cover,” explains Cristina, “and we were initially going to put in two condoms and a little tube of lubricant – stay hard creme – but it was way too expensive. It didn’t work. We wimped out.”
