The Macks' Very Sharp Tour
CA NV TX CO UT ID 2/27-3/25
The Macks have shared two previews of The Macks Are A Knife. First came the album’s lead single “Nice,” a twitchingly catchy rumbler that will have fans howling and thundering along to Fulwiler’s ecstatic cries. They followed it up with “Family Ties,” a rip-roaring thrill ride through the ups and downs, scraps and bruises, that come with running the gauntlet of one’s relations. It’s looking more and more likely that this next album is going to be another volatile ignition from these worshippers of live-wire rock.
[The Macks] was one of the best local live shows I saw all last year. The energy of it really stuck with me…my mind was blown.
At a time when pop and hip-hop have squeezed rock bands all but out of the mainstream consciousness, The Macks' sound is a throwback blend of heavy blues, classic swagger, angular indie rock and propulsive punk spirit.
Think the Rolling Stones, White Stripes, MC5 and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and you're in the right musical ballpark. (And that's a really nice ballpark.)
