The deal with soundclick is that I really use it more as an archive these days than any sort of promotional tool - i.e. it's not updated anywhere near as often, I don't really log in much either. so if you wish to communicate or for more action though you should head to myspace:

www.myspace.com/hotshackett

Yeah. I have finished an E.P, you can hear most of it over there at myspace or the whole thing at mp3.com.au/scotthackett . Might put it here eventually.
Why this name?
its my nickname, stolen from a Rowan Atkinson skit called "No one named jones".
Do you play live?
Yeah, in and around Sydney. Of course I like it, don't be daft. Special moments are when people want to buy my E.P. Come to a gig and give me a special moment.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I hate the music industry, I hope the internet kills it. Sadly I think it has the opposite effect.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not unless it was a reeeeeally good contract. I'm not their cup of tea anyway.
Band History:
I'm all solo these days, but I do get a lot of help from friends on some recordings and for a short while I had a band. Here's the memorial for it: www.myspace.com/behindchickenwire
Your influences?
Bobby McFerrin, Pugsley Buzzard, Led zeppelin, Neil young, The Grateful Dead, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Paul Kelly, Hendrix, SRV, Joe Satriani, Jeff Lang, Tommy Emmanuel, The Waifs, You Am I, iOTA, The Angels, Tom Petty, Harry Manx, Heidi Lenffer, Paul simon, Darren Hanlon, James Muller, Tom Waits, Django Reinhardt etc.
Favorite spot?
Sydney is cool, I don't know anywhere else but have no desire to explore either.
