After an eight-year hiatus, New York band Boss Hog swung into action for a show last week at the All Tomorrow's Parties' Nightmare Before Christmas festival in Somerset, England, and another at New York's Bowery Ballroom tomorrow (Dec. 17). But don't call it a comeback quite yet.
"We're waiting until we've played all the shows, and then we're going to sit down as a band and discuss the future," frontwoman Christina Martinez tells Billboard.com. "I will say, the week we had in Europe was great, and we got a fantastic reception. But we're also without a label deal, and it's a weird climate right now. So, we'll see."
Martinez, husband Jon Spencer, bassist Jens Jurgensen and drummer Hollis Queens have pursued a host of projects since Boss Hog deactivated.
Martinez devoted herself to being a full-time parent, and Spencer has released albums with Blues Explosion and Heavy Trash. Queens and Jurgensen were part of a band called Lo-Hi.
