MAT. McHUGH & THE SEPERATISTA SOUNDSYSTEM

LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL

It’s pretty ambitious to consider recording a live album of a band that has only played a dozen shows. Capturing the essence of a live performance has managed to elude many, more seasoned acts. Mat. McHugh & The Seperatista Soundsystem have provided a glaring exception to this rule with their brand new LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL release. 

To be fair Mat. has known and played with the other members of that trio for years. Ian Pritchett (on bass) has produced every album Mat. has been involved with in the last decade and Paul Derricoot (on drums) has been a musical foil since playing on Mat’s 2008 album SEPERATISTA.

The sound of LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL is raw, soulful and real. Influenced by a broad range of genres from Hip Hop to Dub to Punk Rock. The album is a testament to the power of live music and puts forward the importance of the connection between performer and crowd.

Recorded in January 2013 across a run of summer shows in Australia,  the album features songs from Mat. McHugh’s recent LOVE COME SAVE ME LP, songs that span his prolific career as one of Australia’s most respected songwriters, as well as a mash-up of the Clash and Beats International’s Guns of Brixton/ Dub Be Good To Me. 

If this is what the band sounds like after a handful of shows the future is an exciting prospect.

LIVE FROM RANDOM HALL will be available digitally on Die Boredom / Controlled Substance Sound Labs in Australia starting June 4, 2013.

Touring July, August, September 2013, with dates and venues to be announced.

MAT McHUGH - Go Don't Stop / Is This Love (live at Random Hall)

Hailing from Haarlem, Berry ‘Jack’ Krikken and Sebastiaan ‘Weatherman’ Weerman are Jack and the Weatherman. Two friends in music on a mission to send their sun-soaked folky pop songs into the world. Inspirated by the music of Jason Mraz, The Lumineers and the vocal harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel. The songs of Jack and the Weatherman combine elements of pop, folk and reggae, with positive and profound lyrics. In their songs they celebrate the beautiful aspects of life, while acknowledging the fragility of its beauty. It’s music for both the heart and the head. 

Berry and Sebastiaan were friends in high school in Emmen, a city in the eastern part of the Netherlands. After they graduated, Berry started travelling the world and writing down his experiences and thoughts as lyrics. Sebastiaan had become a musician and plays various instruments. It was an odd chance that they met again, years later in city of Haarlem. It quickly became clear they would be partners in music when Sebastiaan got out his guitar and started playing The Dynamo Of Volition by Jason Mraz and Berry started singing the lyrics of the song. 

Tomorrow is the first song they write themselves. Before they know it they’ve written another three. They need to write songs quickly, because their first ever gig is already scheduled. That’s why they need to come up with a band name in a rush. The solution is quickly found: Berry Krikken becomes Jack, (‘krik’ means jack in Dutch), and Sebastiaan Weerman becomes the Weatherman (‘Weerman’ translates to weatherman). It is the start of an adventure with lots of fun, music, sold out shows and new friends both in their native The Netherlands and abroad.

They quickly become one of the most active live bands of the Netherlands, but stay out of the limelight of the music industry. Without any support by a label or management they score hit after hit on Spotify, with millions of streams from across the world. They tour extensively all over Europe, with shows in Finland, the UK, Germany, France and Switzerland. They raise the roof wherever they perform. 

Jack and the Weatherman is a DIY-band. They write their songs in the The Cave Of No Shame, their private studio where mistakes don’t exist. They record their songs with friend and producer Jasper Zuidervaart and release them on their own label Glowbird Records. So far, they’ve released three different EP’s: Something Positive (2014), Homewards (2015) and Some Kind of Purpose (2016). “Music is just the best way of using our time” says Berry. “As soon as we start making music we become mellow. It’s just like a mental reset” says Sebastiaan”.

Finally their eagerly anticipated debut album is ready for release: The Lucky Ones. Because that’s what they are, those two friends from Haarlem who found each other by odd chance. Two guys who realise how extraordinary life is, and who write songs about it. Cheerful songs on first listen, but with a deeper layer for those willing to listen. And every day more and more people are willing to listen to their songs. They’re ready for take off, they’re the lucky ones: Jack and the Weatherman.
