My Shit Is Still Perfect - Taiwan Tour 2013

Bob Log III drank from the same bourbon bottle as a generation of great Mississippi blues artists. He took it in deeply, held it for a second, and then spat out an intoxicating sound that was pure American south. Reinterpreting Delta Blues by way of AC/DC, Bob has toured with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Beck and Ween. HIs first two albums were released on Epitaph Records, then he moved for a while to the legendary blues label Fat Possum Records. A self styled "one man guitar party", he plays guitar with his hands, drums with his feet and sings into a telephone receiver attached to his motorcycle helmet. He looks like a guy you should shoot out of a cannon. Instead he plays rock n roll!

Critics have labeled him everything from lo-fi to trash-rock to garage and punk. But really, if it got a beat and a tail wagging on it, it's Bob Log music! A typical show includes boobs getting dipped in scotch, young people stage diving or swan diving, and up to three women at a time balancing on his knees while he plays cymbals, a snare drum, and guitar; a damn riot of activity on and off stage.

Tom Waits once said: "And then there's this guy named Bob Log, you ever heard of him? He's this little kid — nobody ever knows how old he is — wears a motorcycle helmet and he has a microphone inside of it and he puts the glass over the front so you can't see his face, and plays slide guitar. It's just the loudest strangest stuff you've ever heard. You don’t understand one word he's saying. I like people who glue macaroni on to a piece of cardboard and paint it gold. That's what I aspire to basically."
