About Me

Slinkyredfoot is eric galdes, journeyman songwriter, vocalist and bassist of the ann arbor/detroit 90's michigan music scene. after it became clear to him that becoming "the next michael hutchence" was pretty much not gonna happen, and the inevitable stall of his marginally successful band at the time (riddle me this), eric went straight, only popping up from time to time for an odd reunion show or a cover band gig for some extra scratch.

eric just recently returned to music, under the moniker "slinkyredfoot" and started composing again. while currently working on his debut solo record, eric has also started to dabble in film scoring - a gig that he is having lots of fun doing, and hopes to do more of. not only is eric a composer, but he also brews his own beer, and has some fabulous shoes...... which is the equivalent of the "renaissance man" triple crown.

and rumor has it, that he once scissor kicked Angela Lansbury
