Slipmates

About Me

[English version] Slipmates were formed in the summer of 2002, out of the well-known Rockabilly band "Granny's Roosters" and the Surf-Garage combo "The Famous Fantastix".To call Slipmates a typical Rockabilly band is for sure incorrect and incomplete ! They play a nice crossover of rockabilly, country, rootsrock and a lot of all the other goodies.Besides their selfpenned songs, they have also covers from Johnny Cash, Bob dylan, AC/DC and even Gloria Gaynors 'I will survive'. (don't expect purple wigs and eveningdresses)Line up: Marc Daems : Drums Koen Meeus : Vocals and Rhythm guitar Kurt Maas : Double Bass Hans Maes : Lead guitar[Dutch version]Slipmates zijn onstaan in 2002 uit ex-leden van de rockabillyband Granny's Roosters en de surf-garageband The Famous Fantastix. De bezetting is steeds dezelfde gebleven : Koen Meeus (zang/gitaar ) , Hans Maes (lead-gitaar), Kurt Maas (contrabas) en Marc Daems (drums).Ze begonnen met het spelen van rockabilly-nummers uit de jaren vijftig. Dit gebeurt nu nog, zij het steeds sporadischer.De eigen nummers zijn meer gedrenkt in rootsrock en country (verwacht zeker geen line-dance toestanden, integendeel) en vormen tegenwoordig het overgrote deel van hun live-set. Buiten de zelfgeschreven nummers bestaat die set uit covers van o.a. Johnny Cash en Bob Dylan.Er staan ook een paar verrassende bewerkingen van o.a. AC-DC en Gloria Gaynor op het programma.
