About Me

"Getting into trouble hanging out with Nick
The scenester girls are pretty, but they make us sick."
The Jack Saints started in Palm Springs, Ca back in 1995. Shortly after we moved to San Francisco. A few years ago Regal left and was replaced by ex NEW BOMB TURK Bill Randt! THE NEW CD IS OUT!!! BUY IT!
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT IN EUROPE! We had a blast hanging out and playing. Big thanks to Marco at Scarey for setting up a month of killer shows! Sorry we sounded like crap in Gent, and didn't play too well in Croatia...I thought I was gonna have a damn heart attack on stage! Cheers everyone!!
Update: We're writing new songs, and will hopefully release 3 albums worth of material in the next two years to make up for the gap between our last two records. We got a records worth already that we recorded too poorly to release on the last one.
old news:We're heading back to EUROPE from SEPTEMBER to late OCTOBER
Our split Warren Zevon with Throw Rag never came out, but we included the Zevon cover at the end of our CD!
We're writing new songs for our new shows and Euro tour, and maybe dusting off a few oldies.
Our old records are out of print, but you can find em used. They're on Man's Ruin and Scooch Pooch.

New Review..."we're FUNKY" and have "touches of SKA",,,,

The first thing that strikes me about the album is how unpolished it sounds. It sounds as if it were recorded in someone's garage, and maybe that was intentional, to reflect the grittiness of how they...
