You gotta love Alehop!. Speedball Baby are from New York and quite a few people have formed part of or collaborated with the band at some point. Check: Jon Spencer & Judah Bauer, Cristina Martinez, Mick Collins (who appears on this single), Daniel Collás. To name but a few. The two key figures are singer Ron Ward and guitarist Matt Verta-Ray, who used to be in Madder Rose.
Here’s a video of another song by Speedball Baby, “Wanna Scratch It?”.
