Jackie- O Motherfucker have been operating since 1994, based around the core saxophonist Nester Bucket and guitarist manipulator Tom Greenwood releasing records for Road Cone and Ecstatic Peace. After cranking out five full-length LPs (two of them double sets), one split 12" and two CDs, the group has grown to encompass as many as twenty rotating members in three US cities – Portland, New York and Baltimore.

Inspiration is drawn from an impossibly diverse array of sound and vision: free jazz, noise rock, graffiti, space rock, folk music, Xeroxed art, the list goes on. It's safe to say, however, that the underground experiments of the 60s are a key touchstone — musically, especially the NY loft avant-garde; visually, including Harry Smith's film loops; socially, in their grubby, seat-of-the-pants approach to life and personal politics

The amazing quality of Jackie-O Motherfucker is their ability to color experimental music and noise with more candor and emotional sophistication than most turtlenecked troubadours. The fresh creative input and enthusiasm for experimentation and sound exploration combined with strong roots in Americana has created vital records.
