check out there music, very interesting stuff. great lead vocals, great playing, and great songs.

Monster bass lines lurch around every smooth, molten piano roll taunting limbs to get up, get moving. Forging jazz, two-ton funk, drum n’ bass, and a maelstrom of motormouth lyrics Jackfruit has broken ties from genres and classifications that separate music by creating their own unique bricolage too mind-blowing to pigeon-hole.

After a couple of years at the drawing board and only months in practice, the Vancouver-based foursome took to Mushroom Studios to record their first and currently unreleased independent album that demands to be heard; Check Ça.

From forced screams to falsetto, the verbose Chris Berry (Slow Nerve Action/Duran Duran Duran) offers pointed commentary on politics, consumption, fashion, and roller-skating while synth-wizard Ian Lamont (Slow Nerve Action/Duran Duran Duran) speaks keyboard like his first language - alternating melodic, emotional jazz piano with quick blasts of warm screeching organ. Stéphane Fortin (Blue Quarter/Duran Duran Duran) attacks the bass delivering fireball riffs and growling funkiness as drummer Drew Vendetti (Trip) sets the pace through snappy snare shots and eruptions of stupefying swells.

great show great vibes.

i love dancing next to Toinn

i like this thread much better!!

the "your fucked" came in response to the email you sent me, telling me your going to contact the slip's agent and "take matter into your hands". when there is no matter to fucking deal. flying off handle, and unconfriming shows that are confrimed without asking me. "you fucked" means you fuck" thats it, its not a threat.

i wish wish i never sent you that first email.

again thanks for all the help on these shows.

Did Jerry Garcia turn into a catapillar?

the ottawa date was tossed around bit, then confrimed then unconfrimed. by there agent.

this shit happens all the time.

we'er still working on confriming a ottawa date.

Dec 7,8,9 have always been confrimed. there was never a question.

just becuase brad who's on tour now. doesn't know what date and were, means nothing. more often then not musican are out of the loop. thats why they have agents and managers.

and thought it would be a good thing to have a local slip fan and scenster help out with the show.

its always a mistake with luke, always.

if you try hard enuff you will fuck the tour up.

Luke stop man just fucking stop.

i'll post the contracts up if i have to.

The Slip

Dec 7,8,9 are confrimed and contarcted already.

next time why don't you just ask me.

fat cats suck!

meh. save your money.

he's another backing track junkie.

JSB killed it tonight at PJC.

fuck i love that band.

look out Guelph!

just about to sit down to dinner with the swift boys.

really looking forward tonight!!!

shit, the pjc show is on a night while i'm up north....crap.

would have been a fun night without work the next day.....

no doubt the bar will be hopin'!

you could always hit Guelph or Toronto.

Can you believe I kept Guelph a secret?

i'm very impressed. but i figured if it whent one day longer you'd bust at the seams.

I have to win that contest. My ego and egolessness demand it.

i wonder if i can enter the contest. i'll be putting alot of slip posters in the next month. lol.

"Seeing them live was amazing...I instantly felt a bond with these three guys. You see so many tired, boring rock acts doing the same thing over and over, but these guys are reaching out...They're taking what we know of music and trying to twist it to a different place." - Jim James, of MY MORNING JACKET Sunday NYTimes, July 2, 2006[/blurb]

[float:right][/float]

The Slip (Brad Barr -guitar/vocals, Andrew Barr-drums and Marc Friedman-fretless bass) formed in early 1995 as two brothers and a childhood friend met in the halls of high school and immediately fell in together, later dropping out of Berklee college and heading off - criss-crossing the country, releasing their debut album "From the Gecko" in 1997 and began establishing a dedicated fan-base through relentless touring across the United States.

[float:left][/float]Falling under the spell of Canadiana back in 2000 after appearing at the groundbreaking Evolve Festival in Nova Scotia, The Slip quickly gained a cult-like Canadian following through subsequent Canadian tours 2001-2004 leading to 2/3 of the band relocating to Montreal. Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, Do Make Say Think and Montreal's burgeoning music scene had a profound effect on the trio who moved away from their jazz rock roots to focus on songwriting and modern art rock sounds. Collaborating with California Poet Troubadour Nathan Moore as "Surprise Me Mr. Davis," also helped set the stage for a more focused songwriting sound as did collaborations with indie rock innovator Elizabeth Powell(of Land of Talk) as Brother Sister. Other Slip collaborators include Natalie Merchant, Dan Bern, The Duo and Japanease pop star UA.

The Slip's uncanny ability to create authentic & emotional original music has captured the hearts of music fans all over the world. There is something impossible about The Slip, something humble and heroic, hard and tender, soft and monstrous. After 3 studio albums and countless live releases, The Slip are proud to release their newest album "EISENHOWER," on Bar/None Records. With support tourdates throughout The United States with Indie Rock Champions My Morning Jacket, The Slip are poised to reach higher levels of popularity. And rightfully so, with constarnt touring, appearances at major Festival (High Sierra, Newport Jazzfest, SXSW and Bonnaroo) and theaters across the US, Canada & Japan, 50,000 CDs sold internationally, testimonials from respected musicians, The Slip are ready for the attention they are about to recieve.

[float:right][/float]Brad Barr is the band's core songwriter and one of the great rock guitarists of his generation. He is also looking to join an adult softball league. Brad is the troubadour who's absorbed it all, from Blonde on Blonde to Bitches Brew. He has the ability to do almost anything on six strings, yet consistently plays with taste, context and humility, understanding the awesome power of three chords and a simple melody to bring people in.

Marc Friedman is mission control on bass guitar, the foundation keeping it all together. He brings the wide-ranging and eclectic interests - from Gershwin to Madonna - that result in many of the trio's most enduring arrangements, as well as many of the high-concept production elements on Eisenhower. He's the virtuoso who has literally invented new ways of playing his instrument yet also represents the band's brick wall; constant and comprehensive in his support.

Andrew Barr is the engine and the source of the band's chaos and primal energy, often forgetting where he put his shoes, and dreaming up elaborate beats that tell real stories. Andrew's drum parts are practically their own complete songs, adding thunder and lightning to the intimacy of a heartbeat. He rocks like Bonham and listens like your best friend.

After drilling deep within their home studios over the almost five years since their last studio release, the band finally entered the illustrious Q-Division Studios in Boston to create a stunning new album that brings adventure, daring, and honest songwriting back to the annals of rock. Montreal's venerable Studio Plateau was used to record one last final track with good friend Drew Malamud (Stars, Metric, The Dears). Entitled "Airplane/Primitive" the track also features french horn laid down by Chris Seligman from Stars. The album was co-produced by the band and Matthew Ellard (Elliot Smith, Billy Bragg & Wilco, Morphine) and with additional engineering Drew Malamud, EISENHOWER easily stands as the most cohesive and evocative work The Slip has released to date. The band's first release for Bar/None Records, this is music that points to the future, synthesizing older influences like The Beatles, Bach, and Led Zeppelin while also engaging in a current dialogue with the likes of Built to Spill, Iron & Wine and Wilco.

[float:left][/float]

The album kicks off with "Children of December" and right away you can tell that something truly powerful and new is happening. Percussive vocal delivery over just four punchy chords that erupts unexpectedly into far-flung choruses and then backs out just as quickly - It..s a holiday song for no season in particular, a jump-up, generational anthem for the yesteryears of tomorrow. " 'Children of December" is the song that hit me hardest,.. adds Jim James, ..the way the guitar and the melody interlace, it's incredible...It could even appeal to some kid who really likes punk rock. It's really challenging... Immediately following is "Even Rats" - a super-charged, arena-rock racecar for your impersonal post-apocalypse. Hook-laden, and complete with politically-charged and ambiguous lyrics, the track has already been featured in Sony Playstation's top-selling "Guitar Hero" video game, and in doing so has introduced the band to a massive new crop of fans worldwide. Listen deep and you will hear Brad sing "The spring is nice in Canada," an ode to their new homeland, in a song that questions the US Government Administration.

From then on, the record only pulls you further and further in, ranging effortlessly from intimate, hushed vocals to thunderous, big-beat anthem sincerity, all the while telling a single intense and meaningful story. Massive Lennon-esque ballads give way to angular post-punk deconstructions and gently transition into intimate acoustic lullabies. Virtuosic surf-rock intros drift seamlessly into dusty, epic, headphone Americana...all of this, and yet, somehow, the story is never lost, it all ends up making sense. It is the work of a band at it's finest: a new paradigm in wide-awake rock-realism.

Montreal's THE LOVELY FEATHERS www.thelovelyfeathers.com will support on selected Canadian and US dates
