SLACK

About Me

Hudson, MA has given birth to some great musical talent...well it's happened again, we're SLACK, the best band to come out of my basement. We play a large mix of covers with our originals sprinkled in. We can usually be found playing in my basement which seats 14 fans, my dog, and a foosball table. recent gig locations for us have been in Waltham (Joco's Bar), Worcester (Emerald Isle), and soon Hudson (Finnegans Pub). Which I have to thank them for taking a chance on a band of basement gods and letting us play. Speaking of that, the basement itself is open for fans to come by, the cover is a 6-pack (we're happy to share) and you have to take your shoes off at the door. For that 6-pack, after every song you get to yell "Play monkeys, play" and pick a song off our list. What other band offers that? Feel free to shoot an e-mail if you're thinking of coming by. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20, we are playing Finnegans Pub in Hudson, MA (they have a MYSPACE also). We've got new music in the set, get your ass out to hear it.

Family Friendly Coffee House

We have a family friendly coffee house show coming up in February. That should be interesting, because we haven't played that type of venue before.
