Band Members: « JUANITA K », RACKHAM’s first album will be released on 08 December 2006 in Benelux under the label R.A.T. (AMG).
For this project the saxophone player Toine Thys gathered a group of musicians particularly heterogeneous. A successful mix with Laurent Blondiau and Bart Maris on trumpet, Teun Verbruggen on drums, Benjamin Clement on guitar, and François Verrue on bass.« JUANITA K » is also the beginning of a new adventure for the band with two Belgian singers: Delphine Gardin (Monsoon) and Sacha Toorop (Zop Hopop).Few bands manage to merge as many diverse influences to create such an accessible and particular music. Artists like Calexico, Tortoise, The Brian Blade Fellowship or Radiohead inspired RACKHAM for “JUANITA Kâ€.Made of improvisations, sometimes mariachi-like, instrumental tracks and songs, a very rock energy, RACKHAM’s music is a free satellite in the Jazz-Pop-Rock-Ethnoworldish galaxy.
