Going Way Out with Heavy Trash
Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray are Heavy Trash The bastard cousin to Spencer's genre-demolishing Blues Explosion, Heavy Trash features Speedball Baby's guitar brawler and producer extraordinaire Matt Verta-Ray in a project that drinks down the best of roots, R&B and rock-a-billy. Going Way Out with Heavy Trash, the second offering from these kings of buzz saw guitars and late night incantations, was recorded in three different countries and features an international cast of musicians - Canada's the Sadies, members of Denmark's Tremolo Beer Gut and Powersolo, and New York City's Simon Chardiet and Phil Hernandez. Heavy Trash is what the name implies - filthy and hard - the soundtrack to the strung-out road trip from which there can be no return. To properly translate the future-vintage attitude of these two greasy heart attackers, Yep Roc is offering a vinyl package containing a double vinyl/gatefold LP version of Going Way Out containing three bonus tracks, a copy of the CD version of the album and a Stash code redeemable at yeproc.com for two additional digital bonus tracks, not available on the CD or vinyl versions. Wax style, CD convenience and digital portability all for $19.99! This is a limited edition LP, there will only be one press of Going Way Out on vinyl. Be sure to reserve yours now! All pre-orders of this album come with a free digital version, available in your Stash on release date.

Heavy Trash
Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray are Heavy Trash. There is a secret place where even the best-intentioned rockabilly explorations are scarred by dirty guitars, bad dreams, and lust gone wrong...Where murder ballads rub up against filthy R&B and frantic rock'n'roll...Where country ruminations drip with echo and sadness... This is where Spencer and Verta-Ray fermented their very souls and gave birth to Heavy Trash, the perfect soundtrack for boozy all-night throw downs, pettin' parties and psychedelic fright shows. Mr. Spencer, of course, is the Shudder and Shake behind the Blues Explosion and The Most Exciting Performer in Rock'n'Roll Today. Mr. Verta-Ray chopped heads with Speedball Baby and with six razor-sharp strings he carved these songs from Raw Tombstone and committed them to tape in his basement studio in New York's Lower East Side. The result is Heavy Trash. Play it for the one you love. You cannot lose.
