Boss Hog is a garage punk 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 are relatively sporadic, but comprised three full length albums, a mini-album, an EP and a number of singles in an 11 year history between 1990 and 2001. The current status of the band is unknown with no public activity of any kind since 2001.
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.
