Slim Slip Knot!

About Me

SLIM SLIP AND THE SLIDERS are a hardcore, entertaining ROCKnROLL / ROCKABILLY band based in LONDON. The band started out as three members back in 2003 ; Wild Frontman PAPA GEE, Dawghouse Bassist THE DAZZLER & JETTONE on the Skins. We were missing a vital ingredient, a lead guitarist... Bring in Guitar Wizard RANDY WRENCH.
$lim $lip's debut show was all thanks to top London DJ LITTLE CARL, a very good friend to the band, who wanted the band to perform at his birthday party on the 19th March 2004, at the prestigious ACE CAFE, London. With a ram packed venue, the boys pulled off a mind blowing performance... SLIM SLIP WAS BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the short space of time the band have performed alongside many of the TOP MODERN ROCKnROLL / ROCKABILLY acts such as SMOKESTACK LIGHTNING, HOT BOOGIE CHILLUN, SLIM JIM PHANTOM (of the STRAY CATS) with gigs a plenty to follow. They are growing with popularity and pull a very supportive crowd and fanbase where ever they go. EUROPE / USA BEWARE, DATES ARE IN THE PIPELINE!
