Formed in 1995 by Makoto Kawabata at the same time as the Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective. The group released its debut album in 1997 on PSF Records (Japan), and it was selected as one of the years best albums in The Wire magazine (UK). In 1998 the group played their first tours of the US and Europe. Since then, the group has released a huge number of albums on labels from many different countries. As of 2017, the group has released around 80 albums. Every year since 1998, they have toured extensively in the US and Europe, and more recently have started performing around Asia and in Japan too. The group has performed in collaboration with many musicians including psychedelic originators Gong and Guru Guru, Simeon (Silver Apples), Nik Turner (Hawkwind), and the Occitanian trad singer Rosina de Peira. Japanese collaborators have included Afrirampo, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins), Maso Yamazaki (Masonna), Seiichi Yamamoto (Boredoms), Jun Kuriyama (The Ox), and many others.
Described as walloping heaviosity threaded with streams of blues and thrash, The Macks have an unmistakable sound. In 2022, the band came out with their lockdown project Rabbit. That third LP was a raw and progressive take on rock and roll that launched The Macks towards tours and festivals like Treefort in Idaho and MonkeyBee in Mexico City. Before taking a moment to breathe, the band released the Dajiban LP just months later. Self-produced in a Portland home shared by three band members, Dajiban drove The Macks into more expansive, catchy, gnarly, and distinct territory.
The Macks push all the boundaries with The Macks are a Knife. The LP released mid-2024 with Devil Duck Records. The band is comprised of brothers Josef and Ben Windheim, Sam Fulwiler, Jacob Michael Perris, and Aidan Harrison. The energy and dedication behind each member and the support of Devil Duck Records has The Macks firing on all cylinders with new material both live and back in the studio. Portland's Best New Band of 2022 continues to impress.
