To celebrate the release of the new album, Jackyl is embarking on a promotional tour called, April Showers Bring May Jackyl T?#@Y-Bar Dates. Partnering with radio in cities across the south and Midwest, the band has targeted some of their favorite strip clubs in which to throw a series of CD release parties that will double as on-location video shoots for 'She's Not A Drug'.
Vocalist Jesse James Dupree had this to say, “Jackyl is working with rock radio stations in some of the coolest rock cities and taking rock back to the Dirty Dirty.”
Dupree goes on to add, “When the kids in the 50’s were interviewed and asked why they were digging this new rock & roll, they didn’t say because it’s going to bring world peace or cure cancer, they were getting hot and bothered... SHAKE IT SHAKE IT SHINEY GO-GO BOOTS AND LOTS OF HINEY SHAKING... PUH-POW!!!!”
Jackyl's legacy of its wild, untamed and uncouth approach to rock 'n' roll is well established. The band hit the scene and immediately began firing off rock radio hits like 'Down On Me', 'When Will It Rain', 'I Stand Alone', and most notably, 'The Lumberjack' during which Dupree performs a chain-saw solo. The introduction of Jackyl's fifth instrument on album and in concert quickly became one of the band's many trademarks as the group blazed a path to infamy, sharing the stage with AEROSMITH, KISS, ZZ TOP, TED NUGENT and DAMN YANKEES and working with industry heavyweights such as John Kalodner. AC/DC's Brian Johnson would go on to lend his vocals to the track 'Locked And Loaded' which still stands as his only contribution outside of AC/DC recordings.
The band has earned two Guinness Book of World Records citations and the designation "The Hardest Working Band in Rock 'N' Roll" for performing 100 shows in 50 days as well as 21 shows in 24 hours. Staying true to their working band roots, Jackyl is a staple on the summer festival circuit and maintains their commitment to every show being the sonic equivalent to a man being shot out of a cannon. Jackyl was recently featured on the hit TruTV show Full Throttle Saloon, which was created and executive produced by Jesse James Dupree, and the band will be headlining an extensive tour through 2010 in support of - When Moonshine and Dynamite Collide.
Dupree recently sat down with Fangoria TV while in New York City promoting the new album. Check out the video interview below.
