The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Think Police Interrogation Is a Blast in Their New Video

Catch JSBX on both their US and NYC five borough tour.

Face facts, if you're being sent to interrogation at an NYPD precinct, it's probably a dark fucking day. That is, unless you are comedian Bridget Everett and this is a video for The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion track "BETTE Vs The NYPD." The video features Everett owning the cops and owning the room in the latest from JSBX. Check out the video above, and look for the track on the new LP Freedom Tower - No Wave Dance Party 2015 due on 3/24 via Mom + Pop.
