About Me

Slapdash formed in 1995 under another name, and switched in 1996-97. After numerous gigs throughout the Los Angeles, Hollywood and Silver Lake areas, they gained some notoriety as a peppy, assertive (relatively quick) tour de force.
In 1998 the band took a hiatus from gigging, and came back in 2000 as a power-trio. The band also also acquired the US trademark to the name at that time.
Recently:

Slapdash recorded it's debut CD Reciprocal in 2005-06, and it was released on-line in March, 2007. Reciprocal (or any of the songs on it) is also available for purchase at itunes , as well as Napster and Digstation.com .
You can purchase the physical CD from CD BABY as well (it contains an extra track and stuff).

Sounds Like: Our influences....like everybody else, except mixed together better. Because of the variety of songs, our acoustic stuff is rather intense, while the electric stuff is a bit jarring. It all has the same point though: assertiveness and beauty.

Does it sound like a complete mess? It should, but it doesn't. It actually sounds really, really great -- REALLY,really great!"
Robbie Rist
