About Me

Bio valid at 2 July 2009: SLR is an alternative, psychedelic rock band from Whangarei, Northland, New Zealand; formed in 2005 by Sinclair Woodward and his cousins, Lucas and Ryan Marsich. Through the early stages of the bands life Sinclair was the dominant source of creativeness, penning most of the bands early songs. In 2007 recording equipment was purchased and subsequently the band's first album, A Mystery In Its Own Right, was released in August 2008. Standout tracks were the Woodward-penned classic Let Me In, the psychedelic epic Freak on the Moon, Death of the Space Bees and the Ryan-led blues/rap NYPD. The album was produced on Mini-Discs and were distrubuted around Whangarei; sold in local stores Musicor and Wards. Following the band's album release, Sinclair took a sabbatical and Ryan and Lucas were left to collaborate with several renowned local musicians from around Northland. Among those few was Dwayne Martin, former drummer of Katchafire and well-known Northland guitarist; Adrian Schaumberger, a multi-instrumentalist Canadian who has a illustrious background in touring and tour management and is a member of the band Blackbird, and the identical twin sisters, Debbie and Tracey Clyde (Debbie subsequently becoming a member of the band). The collaborations with Martin and Schaumberger and the Clyde sisters resulted in the creation of a new demo, the base of an up and coming album. Over the past several months SLR has registered in the myspace unsigned artist top 100 charts, faring well in the New Zealand Top 100 artist chart as well as peaking as high as number three on the NZ Unsigned Psychedelic Artist Charts. Current members are Sinclair Woodward, Lucas Marsich, Ryan Marsich and Debbie Clyde. Contact SLR on: [email protected].
