The Blackjacks are a Washington DC based band which combines the blues of the grittier British Invasion bands and blues punk of the late seventies with heavy danceable garage style grooves. The band quickly gained notoriety around the DC-VA area for their high energy live shows which showcase their songcraft and musicianship. They were recently signed with the Indie label SMOD based out of New York City, and have released a 5 song EP. A full length album is scheduled for release in Summer of 2008. After winning the 2008 DC101 Last Band Standing Competition, The Blackjacks played the SOLD OUT Chili Cook-Off, opening for Staind, Chevelle, Finger 11 and Live.

Hey. Yeah I loved your show at the loudoun fest. You guys where great. In case you don't remember I was the crazy blond screaming and dancing in the front. Can't wait to see your next show.
So great to see you Sunday! We really do apologize for only being able to photograph the last 10 minutes of your set. That's what happens when we have a job to do, verses just being out for fun. haha But we LOVE our job...couldn't ask for anything better.
