Andrew Jackson: A Brief History

A San Francisco Bay Area native, Jackson began writing songs at age 16, and has continued writing and composing ever since. The psychedelic rock of the late 60's made a strong impression on him when he was a boy growing up in the suburbs of Southern California. He credits "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles as the song that first opened his mind to the sonic and lyric possibilities in music.

After moving back to the Bay Area in 1972, he discovered glam rock (Roxy Music, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Sparks), and a few years later in 1977 was immersed in punk and funk. In 1980, Jackson DJ'd on college radio as Bub Rhino (at KFJC Los Altos Hills), just when a treasure-trove of post-punk bands were exploding on the underground music scene. All these musical genres, as well as deep explorations into British rock, world music, pop, ambient, and electronic music, have made a strong imprint on Jackson's perspective as an artist. And you can hear it in his songs.

A prolific writer and recording artist, Jackson has independently released more than 10 solo albums, plus 7 albums of his songs with Zru Vogue (and the Bandit Ducks EP with Science Patrol). Jackson continues to perform and record both as a solo artist and with Zru Vogue.

Early on, Jackson developed an intuitive writing style in both his words and music that he continues to cultivate to this day. Borrowing from the "automatic writing" of the surrealists, the intent was to write with as little self-editing as possible. This style led to songs that were sometimes absurd, sometimes parodic, and often introspective and self-revealing.

By the early 1980s, Jackson's musical compositions were growing more experimental and increasingly collaborative. Zru Vogue and Science Patrol were both democratically-organized (or disorganized) bands where members regularly traded instruments and everyone contributed ideas. Jackson continued to contribute words, and the music to these songs was very often generated by "happy accident." Both the classics songs "Nakweda Dream" and "Bandit Ducks From Outer Space" came out of this experimental approach to songwriting.
