Jack Is Back by The Clan gets dancers going at Point Point

Hello Dancers,
  "Jack Is Back" by The Clan has been getting a lot of dancers on the floor at Point Point lately.  I tried to get some info on the group and the song.




The Clan - Who are they?  I cannot tell.
But, here are some clues I found on the Internet.

About Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is one of my best videos. (words of whoever posted the video)

The Clan (formerly The Barefoot Clan), started as a blues/psychedelic rock trio who later incorporated more hardcore punk and doom influences into their music. They don’t take themselves too seriously. 


They are based in Trivandrum, India and were formed in late 2009. Since formation the group has maintained the same line up. 


(I'm suspicious - this might be a different Clan - B.D.)

Jack is Back
Artist: The Clan


Album: Afro Cubano


Song Length: 3:14


George's Thoughts: A favorite Jive song. This song takes so many different aspects of dance music -- big band, Latin, beebop, even a bit of rap -- and puts them together masterfully to make one of the most danceable Jive pieces I've heard. The dance floor always fills up when this comes on, so I know I'm not the only one who finds it charming.

a dance exhibition to "Jack Is Back" (maybe in Italy??)

My suspicion is that "Jack Is Back" is a European studio recording, and may not include the band "The Clan", allegedly seen in the following psychedelic rock video.


"The Clan" doing "Doom Song" - not at all similar to "Jack Is Back"

And, I see "Jack Is Back" was allegedly released by a German record company, Coconut Records, per the following:

Hmmm.  Well, OK, enough of that.  Join the dancing fun most Thursday nights at Point Point, which we have been doing courtesy of Point Point for over a year now.
