Tackhead

TACKHEAD is both a group and a sound system. TACKHEAD are KEITH LE BLANC, DOUG WIMBISH, SKIP McDONALD and ADRIAN SHERWOOD while the 'Sound System' is operated by deranged MC, GARY CLAIL.

Keith, Doug and Skip are responsible for some of the best funk rhythms to have come out of the U.S.A. in the last decade having played as the SUGARHILL GANG rhythm section and for TOMMY BOY (notably Keith's "MALCOLM X", "BEATMASTER", etc.) and for countless other producers and labels in New York and New Jersey.

ADRIAN SHERWOOD has run his own On U SOUND label for seven years having issued records with MARK STEWART & MAFFIA, PRINCE FAR I, AFRICAN HEAD CHARGE, DUB SYNDICATE, SINGERS & PLAYERS, LEE PERRY and many others. He has worked for DEPECHE MODE, EINSTURZENDE NEUBATEN, SIMPLY RED, etc. doing select and original mixes.

TACKHEAD have collectively recorded and co-produced several exceptional 12" singles and one LP - a msterpiece "MAJOR MALFUNCTION" credited to drummer KEITH LEBLANC. New album by TACKHEAD, "FRIENDLY AS A HAND GRENADE" is due for release in early 1988.
