Boss Hog is an American punk blues band including the husband and wife duo of Jon Spencer (guitar) and Cristina Martinez (vocals) along with Jens Jurgensen (bass), Hollis Queens (drums) and Mark Boyce (keyboard). Their name derives from a slang term amongst bikers for a desirable "boss" motorcycle "hog". The band achieved some notoriety, not only due to their abrasive sound, but more to Martinez's confrontational use of full nudity on the band's debut live performance and record sleeves.

  • Boss Hog is an American punk blues band including the husband and wife duo of Jon Spencer (guitar) and Cristina Martinez (vocals) along with Jens Jurgensen (bass), Hollis Queens (drums) and Mark Boyce (keyboard). Their name derives from a slang term amongst bikers for a desirable "boss" motorcycle "hog". The band achieved some notoriety, not only due to their abrasive sound, but more to Martinez's confrontational use of full nudity on the band's debut live performance and record sleeves. Their releases were relatively sporadic, but comprised three full length albums, a mini-album, an EP and a number of singles in an 11 year history. Jon Spencer's other bands include Pussy Galore, of which Martinez became a peripheral member, and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion which existed in parallel to Boss Hog and now continues under the name Blues Explosion.
  • Boss Hog est un groupe de rock américain, très influencé par le blues. Son leader est Jon Spencer de Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Si l'on considère les notoriétés respectives de Boss Hog et de Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, ainsi que la personnalité charismatique de Jon Spencer, Boss Hog peut être considéré comme un side-project de Jon Spencer. Toutefois, Boss Hog est bien plus qu'un à-côté, notamment grâce à la personnalité de Cristina Martinez, compagne de Jon Spencer et âme véritable de Boss Hog.
  • Boss Hog è una band punk blues composta da Cristina Martinez (voce), suo marito Jon Spencer (chitarra), Jens Jurgensen (basso), Hollis Queens (batteria) e Mark Boyce (tastiere). La band ha raggiunto una piccola notorietà non tanto per il suo caratteristico sound abrasivo, ma piuttosto per il fatto che durante il loro primo concerto la Martinez ha cantato completamente nuda. Nudità peraltro riproposta anche sulle copertine dei loro primi dischi. Jon Spencer ha suonato anche con i Pussy Galore, gruppo in cui ha militato seppur brevemente anche la Martinez, ed è tuttora il leader dei Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, che dal 2004 si sono ribattezzati Blues Explosion.
