With 18 albums released, and 84 million record sales to their name, the Acka Dackas are one of the most successful rock bands in the world. They are also undisputedly the most successful group to come out of Australia. We started talking about records and stuff and the idea of using George again just snapped into our heads at the same time. For us there has always been that subtle blues element in what we do.
All good rock has that foundation of the blues in it somewhere.
We never like to be under pressure, and no band should make an album like it's some sort of a chore. I can always tell if we're making a good one, when the smokes are going before, during, and after a take. Don't forget that the number one staple in World War I and II was tobacco. A proper metaphor for a band that has never looked over their shoulder. A lot of music you hear starts getting that fast food mentality - just put it out.
