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.

Yes Ladies and Gents it is once again time for another Slackers Holiday Show Spectacular. This time around we will be hosting the event at the lovely Bowery Ballroom in NYC on Dec. 22nd and please get your tickets early, because once word gets out about this show, people are gonna come running and tickets will not last Believe it or not; this year we are lucky enough to have the incomparable Steve Jackson singer extrordinaire from the Pietaster fame joining us onstage for who knows what kind of shenanigans. And speaking of fame: we topped all expectations and somehow got Alex Desert the golden throat of Hepcat and star of Stage and Screen to grace our little party with his amazing vocal feats.

So this past weekend we had a special treat. We went to Colorado (a treat in and of itself to be sure) and in addition to great shows in Denver and Colo Springs we played a secret wedding gig. Secret because the groom had no idea we were going to be there. We had to pretend we were playing in Wyoming and hide behind a screen at the reception. The Groom (John) got out of the limo with his new wife (Vanessa) and started freaking when he heard The Slackers playing "cupid". Yes romance was in the air as Glen Pine serenaded them with his dulcet tones and their families cheered their new union. As you are all painfully aware we Slackers are incurable romantics, and I must admit we really love playing weddings.

Thanks for dropping by to see how we're doing. Just to tell you fine people what we've been up to. So far we have made some real progress on learning up a bunch of new songs for a new album , no predictions on when (spring 08) but I like the material so far, eclectic and classic, something for everyone. Vic and Django are finishing up a new Sic n Mad album as we speak! Django and I are talking about about doing a King Django Sessions album to follow up the Boss Harmony Sessions cd. What do you guys think? Do you like this idea as a series, maybe with some other DJ/producers ? Let me know. I am also compiling footage for a Greatest Hits LIVE DVD from all over the World (again). If you have some cool footage please let me know about it. In addition we are looking at releasing a(nother?) live at Ernesto's, this time on DVD. For those of you who always wanted to see the insanity, this may be your best opportunity.

Yes thats right. The Boss Harmony Sessions, the newest record from the worlds busiest Slackers (featuring LA's one and only DJ Boss Harmony), is now available on Interpunk.com. It includes a fat batch of brand new tracks ranging from the very traditional to the completely out there, plus a few covers from the likes of Jonny Cash, Os Mutantes, and Puccini ( that last one is for both you opera fans). This is a must for your collection annd I am sure it will occupy a favourite space in your mix for a long time. But dont wait. This will be a limited pressing, so hurry up and hit up Interpunk.com or you'll miss all the fun.

I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Dave Fuentes. He was a great musician and a gold standard for bassists to aspire to. A wonderful person who will be sorely missed. The Slackers and myself wish to extend our most heart felt condolences to his family , his friends, and music fans around the world. Dave's loss will be felt by all.

Yes IT has begun. IT being the Interpunk.com Slackers Documentary DVD contest! Where you, yes you, can enter and win a genuine , one of a kind, Slacker "save it for the stage" suit. Incredulous as it may seem, one of my top o' the line 5 button suits is up for grabs. No lame cheapo prizes for Slacker fans no sir. Only the best for our friends. While you're at Interpunk check out and see if we managed to get the new Boss Harmony CD to them yet, we will mail them some soon I swear. So keep looking. Enjoy and good luck

Thank you all so much for helping us sell out of the fascinating new dvd THE SLACKERS : A DOCUMENTARY. I am shocked the story of our lives and travels is so interesting to so many, but who knows, I find looking at plants interesting so why not? You fab fans have put us on Interpunks top 10 DVD list and now we have to return the favour. Well at least we have to send them some more DVDs. So we did, actually Vic mailed the box (GO VIC). So please keep up the illusion of our popularity and drop by Interpunk.com.

Thats right folks the DVD documentary telling the on and off stage stories of the Slackers and the many years of insanity they have foisted upon music fans throughout the world is now out and available everywhere through Interpunk.com! Keep your eyes on them too because starting Sept. 18th they will be having a Slacker's giveaway contest where they wilol be giving away Slacker DVDs and such, The Grand Prize Winner will receive (honest and for true!) one of Marcus Geard's cornea burning, criminally tailored, mega pimping stage suits! This fine garment being a deep burgundy 5 button knee length Zoot suit jacket with matching trousers, size 42 (US).
