HACK MACK JACKSON

Admission 15 / start 16


The Dark Side of Country(-billyswamprock)
With their penultimate vinyl release in 10" format _: Low Budget- High Convenience, the Düsseldorf western aficionados have indeed heralded their 25th anniversary as a band.
anniversary. Would we have taken bets on that?)
Away from the trashy lo-fi budget rock of earlier years, things are a little more civilized in the cowshed of lost souls in 2026. You could almost think that's what the health insurance company wants. But they only watch out during the day.
Because as soon as the sun has gone down, the band's own all-time classics such as "Pressure Island", "Beefjerky" or "Last night millionaire" are of course saddled up on stage and shamelessly plundered from the county cemeteries, from the little ones (Leon Payne, Buck Owens) and the greats of outlaw country, such as Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash or Hank 3.
With washboard, banjo and slide guitar and at least one foot on the pedal, they head out of the stable with their saddlebags full of booze and into the desert of life, always in search of the 3 chords and the truth.
Currently on the road with 4 German songs:
Hack Mack Jackson cover Deichkind!
The Bontempi country number "Da Wo" by electro-hiphop punkers Deichkind (from the 2002 album: Noch 5 Minuten Mutti) has long been part of the live program of the
Düsseldorf country swamp rockers @HackMackJackson . But now they have topped it off with a video. Recorded at the band's own family doctor, in the Düsseldorf station cult pub WP8 Künstlerverein and various bonfires in the state capital and shot (Andi Artelt) and edited (Andi Simon) by members of their friends JOSEPH BOYS, this confirms the expected technical and visual finesse and saloon skills of all the players.
This turbulent version of "Da wo (...die Zigaretten brennen)" is sure to be played at various "Tanz in den Mai" parties and is a successful teaser for "Pferdekuss", the soon to be digitally released 4 track EP with all of the Jacksons' German songs, which were previously reserved as hidden tracks for die-hard fans only. Including cover versions of the mighty Kassierer and Gunter Gabriel and No Life Lost. Saddle up!!!
