Believe it or not, Mad Mackerel has been around for more than five years now. During that time we've posted more than 4,000 times, and offered more than 5,000 songs for your listening pleasure. And more than three quarters of a million people have paid MM a visit during our lifetime on Google's godawful blogspot and since April 2010 on WordPress.

Put Eric Clapton's guitar in a garage band just learning distortion with a good producer and that is basically Head in the Dirt. Innovative Leisure, 2013 4.6 / 10 This is only Hanni...
Passados 2 anos após a edição de Agadez, Omara “Bombino” Moctar vagueou até Nashville para gravar Nomad. O novo álbum conta com a produção do aclamado Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) e com o selo da Nonesuch Records, guiando-nos numa viagem transcendental e optimista utilizando como veículo o blues rock do deserto dos Tuareg. No primeiro álbum a solo (Agadez de 2011), gravado durante o seu período de exílio devido à proibição da utilização de guitarras no seu país, Bombino apresentou-nos o seu dom inato mas também o seu lado mais sóbrio e soturno.

Hanni El Khatib ’s formula is simple and reminiscent of the nonchalant coolness that usually goes along with slicked-back hair, rolled up sleeves that disguise the boxy outline of a quickly thinning pack of cigarettes, and motorcycle gang tattoos. Khatib ’s debut, Will The Guns Come Out?, toyed with blues-inspired garage rock, and generally introduced himself as a character. Head in the Dirt is simply another chapter for the character of Hanni El Khatib who, guided by producer Dan Auerbach of [...]

Except when the great Ry Cooder is involved, I tend to shy away from projects like these. You know, Grammy winning American rocker produces genuine nomad from Niger... Hmmm. But Dan Auerbach and Omar 'Bombino' Moctar prove my gut feel wrong for a change. Nomad simply grooves and grooves and grooves. Bombino - Imuhar

While Hanni El Khatib' s use of a sex-crazed biker gang in the video for "Family" seemed an unbeatable cinematic triumph, his new short film by Yours Truly is incredible for completely different reasons. The piece begins as an introduction to Khatib's time in Nashville, where he recorded his sophomore album, Head In The Dirt , at The Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Studios. As he and Auerbach tour a local body shop, Khatib contemplates his new found appreciation for Music City ("No one's trying to [...]

B ombino ’s live performance on KCRW was one of the most memorable I’ve witnessed. The Niger-born artist has a powerful magnetism in his playing [...]

Wild Asian Motorcycle Sex Gang. That's the concept director Nick Walter thought up three years ago and brought to life in LA-based garage rock artist Hanni El Khatib 's video for "Family," which comes off his upcoming Dan Auerbach-produced album, Head In The Dirt . Aside from some bare-hand octopus fishing, the video description pretty much speaks for itself. So yes, it's NSFW. Watch it above. Hanni El Khatib's Head In The Dirt comes out May 3rd via Inertia .
