   About Richey Hackett

MySpace Layouts


Everything on my records is written, played, sung, recorded and produced by me. I spent years thinking the only way to make music was with a full band. I also spent years thinking that you had to be signed to a record label to be a 'real musician'.

None of this is true. You are the star. Make your music, share it with the world by any means necessary and available to you.

Over the last decade, alternative music has flourised and come into it's own. But pop music has declined, becoming ever more a parody of itself with the dawn of reality television and quick fix pop wannabes.

Why am I different? Because I believe in making music that will still sound great in 10 years time. Because I believe the general public are not a bunch of braindead, tasteless idiots who will accept anything you throw at them. Because I believe music is more important than sales and chart positions.

Pop music is dead. And I have come to revive it. Enjoy.

Fallen off the face of the earth? Not me my young son. I was merely in hiding, acquiring stalkers as opposed to stalking these days :)

How did your studies go? Better than mine I hope, still. University was an experience I'll not forget quickly :)

I spend most of my time on facebook these days, my harem growing larger by the day lmao :)

You should know by now Rich, I never forget friends :)

Hi Mate, many thanks for the comment. Yes i do play all the instruments, though its mainly just guitar! I've been trying to listen to your songs but the only one that will play is 'You have what you want you'll get' - which is fantastic, hints of Kings of Leon in there. I'll be back to listen to the others.
Cheers, John

Richey David Hackett,
My Brother....yes its quite remakeable i have a brother as talented as this one.
Never really thought you'd make any use of your old songs like Cigarette etc but the moment i listen to songs like Coming Home, Think like a Shrink, and our little songs Little Things (woow) i realise how talented you are.
I know you're true dream has always been Film Making/Directing but i really think you've got the eyes and ears for music.
I can't believe how easily you write lyrics all of mine consist of lines like "Hey I'm Lydia and i'm hear to say all my lyrics are rather gay" etc.
I think you need to push your albums in the face of the media and show people what true music is. You've always guided me to listen to legends like Placebo. Pixies, Manic, Queen, R.E.M, Nirvana, Beatles etc and i really think there are elements of these legends in your songs.
If they can make it big Richey i know you can.

Keep this up mate and i promise one day your dreams will come true.

Your littlest Sister (whos very greatful for your life)
Lidey =]
love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

p.s. Don't let anybody tell you you're not humpable.
Because you're bumpable.
Well, I hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable

Just thought we would let you know that the West Gate EP hit stores a little sooner than we expected. So now you don't have to wait until May 10th to pick one up!

And the best part is... it's only $4.95

That's like the cost of a gallon and a half of gas.... or even a light fast food lunch.

So pick one up and support your scene....enjoy the home-made sounds...from our bedroom to yours

The EP is on iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, and Amazon mp3. You can find the links on our page

Take care!

well thank you very much, it means a lot to us.

I also love the low fi sound and have even thought about recording entire albums with nothing but a four track...think it would sell?

thanks for listening

So then it'd be pretty!
