thanx to rifraf and 'Jack'David (a nice Jack...).
Les "Generals" Jack is a trio, two guitars & drums, who bring an original mix of Rock, Funk, Reggae, Roots Music ... all songs larded with a fat layer of Blues!
The members of the band met each other on a Jamsession at the port festival of Leuven (Belgium) in 1999. This Jam appeared rapidly a windfall of format which made the idea grow of forming a band. The first rehearsals started on the boat of Drummer, Toon Derison, the boat was called 'Jack'.
Floated by the inspiration "A chacun son Blues" a first demo with 4 own numbers arose in 2001 and in 2004, they did released their first album "Small talk, Space Message" on the label Naked Productions.
