They also hit the festival circuit throughout summer playing Woodford Folk Festival and BBQ Breaks Brisbane on New Years Day.  <br><br>Just announced, Jackson Jackson will be a headline act at the St.Kilda festival with their psychedelic hip hop live show in Melbourne on Sunday February 8.  Check out <a href="http://www.stkildafestival.com.au/">http://www.stkildafestival.com.au/</a> for further info. <br><br>Their live shows are addictive….’It’s a madhouse.  Jackson Jackson’s sound is a mishmash of hip hop and electronica and while all the stylistic changes and shifts should be jarring, they’re not.  It’s all completely danceable, irresistibly so.  Think MIA on a mild dose of valium.  When the crowd aren’t moving and shaking to the music, they’re screaming and cheering in between songs.’  Inpress Magazine.<br><br>Heading out with Jackson Jackson on the February tour is Melbourne hip-hop identity, PHRASE.  Both Jackson Jackson and Phrase have Jan Skubiszewski in common.  Jan helped produced the new Phrase record, played guitar in the live shows last year, and is obviously one half of Jackson Jackson.<br><br>Featuring guest vocals by Kram (Spiderbait), Phrase’s new single ‘Skylight’ is available as a digital release via iTunes and other digital retailers now.  Already proving a hit, ‘Skylight’ was Channel V’s Ripe Clip Of The Week plus the highest played song on Triple J both late last year.  <br><br>‘Skylight’ follows the success of Phrase’s previous single ‘Clockwork’, from the album ‘Burn It Down’, which will be released early in 2009.<br><br>Don’t miss Jackson Jackson and Phrase in February 2009.
