The Slackers April 27, 2007

The Slackers / tba - 10pm $10
The Slackers sound is pure roots, but still innovative. While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (Original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music through an American lens. This band is equally appreciative of old blues, 60s soul, rock, and Rnb as it is of reggae, rocksteady, dub, and Ska.
Their most recent release, Peculiar, mixes together the trademark Slacker sounds with American garage and roots music.
