I don't think that I've every actually introduced myself on this site, but since 2005 I have been one of the webmasters here at theslackers.com. Kumie is the other one. For some reason, my email address has been on the fritz, so I have been really slow at adding new accounts.

If you have signed up for an account and it has not yet been activated, please forward the welcome email to lantzilla (((AT))) theslackers (((DOT))) com, and we'll take care of it as soon as possible.

If you have not yet created an account, do the following things to ensure that you are activated quickly:

1. Sign up for an acccount
2. Don't use a name that sounds randomly generated, like NNKMMKMKhhfkl. It helps me separate the wheat from the chaff.
3. After you get the welcome email, forward it to lantzilla (((AT))) theslackers (((DOT))) com, including the name of your favorite Slackers album.

Sorry it's such a pain in the ass, but we used to have it so that you didn't have to register, but we got totally hammered with spam. We'd much rather talk about shows and albums than penis enlargement and replica watches– as intriguing as that sounds...

Also, Kumie and I are in the process of a site redesign, so you don't have to keep staring at the same page over and over again. We are hoping to have Album, Song and Lyric pages integrated soon. We could probably use some editorial help. Any takers? Typing up lyrics, etc. Send an email to the above email address, and put "NOTROBOT:" in the subject line, so that I actually pay attention to it.

Together, we will slay every last robot.

Just to specify, the Valentines day Show at the Luna Lounge in Brooklyn is on Friday Feb 15th. Romance will be in the air ( as well as cold) and great fun will be had by all. I am told that the Luna Lounge is quite sizable and there are still plenty of tickets left, so all you who complained to me that you couldn't get in to the Bowery Ballroom Holiday show or on the Booze Cruise, this is your big chance! PS Anyone with requests should post them here.

Yes folks it is with much joy that we anticipate this upcoming Valentines Day show at the Luna Lounge in lovely Williamsburgh Brooklyn. I used to live just down the street from this place for over 10 years (as did 2/3 rds of the band), so personally I am thrilled to be playing the old "hood." Plus its really easy to get to by car or subway. So I hear you wondering "What have the Slackers got planned for Valentines Day?". We are polishing up some old classics that we haven't been performing all that often and perfecting new ones that we will be debuting that night.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the 3 shows we just did in Texas. We were blown away by the enthusiasm. We were especially amazed by the 2 sold out nights at the Flamingo Cantina! Wow!

The 2nd night was recorded for a live DVD that should come out by next summer.

In other slacker news,
we have completed music for a new cd entitled, "self medication", that will be out in the USA and Canada on april 15. It will be distributed through Red Eye distribution. We are working on a european and japanese version for june.

Hi everyone,

a last minute plug to let everyone know that there are still a few tickets left to our holiday extravaganza at the bowery ballroom.

It will be the slackers, new jersey's own steadfast united, and special guest appearances from Steve Jackson (Pietasters), Alex Desert (Hepcat), Jonny Meyers (Stingers), Ben Lewis (skavoovie), and Larry McDonald. www.boweryballroom.com for more info.

Just to clarify. Holiday show is december 23rd. www.boweryballroom.com
