JackLa

On a mission to rid the world of the mind controlling dub step, Scotty's Jack and TDC Gavla side line the beer pouring / "bend ze knees" demands and bring you "JackLa".  We catch up with Jack, one half of this DJing, mountain based, Jedward inspired dynamic duo.

What are Jackla all about?
we represent the people of tignes who want to listen to awful music on a night out but are too scared to come out and be proud of who they truly are .

What tune best represents you?
I'm not sure what Gav thinks, but I feel One Direction, "that's what makes you beautiful" is always a big hit.

What's the best piece of musical magic to get the lasses?
"Senorita" by Justin Timberlake is always a hit with the chicks, they like to songalong to the 'ladies' part.

What's your fave dance move?
Obviously the "Moonwalk" is hard to beat, but im a big fan of the "Water Sprinkler", demonstration will be shown soon in jacks.

Who is the sexiest member and why?
I feel that both of us are renowned sex symbols, so I wouldnt want to comment.

Where will JackLa be in 5 years?
5 years time, probably headlining at Glastonbury, but we always return to where it all began.  Even when fame and fortune comes our way, we'll never forget those who helped get us to where we will be, so there will always be the annual guerilla gig at TC's.

If you could be any duo, which one would you choose to be?

Tough choice, but I am a big fan of Ant & Dec myself.

Deep Fried Tignes

Monday 23rd January, 2012

The burgers at the Marmot Arms have been getting a bit of respect from the locals but we've been finding it a bit of a challenge sampling their wares, due to the kitchen selfishly closing between 2.30pm and 6pm.  A big ol' burger at lunchtime tends to make any kind of afternoon snow levitation a bit of a challenge.  However last Monday we'd actually managed to be motivated onto first(ish) lifts by the white stuff falling and had worked up a burger shaped hole.  Unfortunately storming in at 2.20pm had it's flaws, as they were completely out of veggie aubergine burgers.  Tres dissappointing as I watched my carnivorous comrades chow down satisfactorily on a hearty marmot burger (cow with spicy topping as opposed to endagered furry friend) and a fish finger butty.  After a few moments of pouting and shunning suggestions such as spicy wedges, a chip butty options was presented as an option.   At just 4 euros, it was a darn genious idea and I've been back twice since.  I really should try one of those aubergine fellas one of these days. 

Of course, we had to wash such a vitamin enriched meal down with some refreshing beer and before we knew it apres set in and died away.  By 9pm, we still hadn't made it home and we were in need of soaking up some of the sauce.  By this time we were in the Alpaka and a sudden urge for some jalepeno poppers struck but once again our demands were scuppered and poppers on the Alpaka pub platter (scampi, tortilla chips, onion rings, wedges, jalepeno poppers with salsa and guacamole)  were off.  The rest of the plate was still gratefully chowed down upon and we also got involved in some slightly more sophisticated cheese and wine.  The Alpaka run a Savoyard evening once a week with wine tasting accompanied by local cheese and charcuterie which has inspired this new addition to their bar snack menu.  No better way to feel a bit French than nibbling on a bit of cheese and dried sausage whilst swilling some of the local wine in my books.

For all you girlie shredders I have a ride compact 143 for sale due to the arrival of my new toy! Great board n going cheap to a good home!!
 
See Kate at the Alpaka
