About Me

It's not so much about what we were but what we've become.
Slave Unit
"Slave Unit - a generic term that describe any piece of electronic equipment that is controlled by another."
Technology with an aggressive musicianship describes the formula of the Oakland, CA based band Slave Unit. Influenced by hardcore punk, industrial and hip hop music, Slave Unit's sound strikes you with powerful rhythms weighted with bass-heavy beats, original samples, and crunching guitars. The lyrics are often based on observations and reflections of human behavior and error.
Slave Unit has been on the San Francisco/Bay Area Goth/Industrial scene as well as the punk/metal/hardcore scene since 1992. The band has played with a broad range of groups including Marilyn Manson, Neurosis, Sheep on Drugs, Crash Worship, Babyland, Hate Dept., and Diatribe. The band takes pride in their ability to play for a diverse audience and are comfortable playing various venues. Wherever Slave are they have the unique ability to appeal to any audience.
If you'd like to be on an email list for shows/news, have us do a remix for you or want us to play please send an emai to [email protected] .
