Athletes in Slacks

Bio:

Athletes in Slacks started in 2000 when Brian and Jason started writing downtempo, instrumental electronica.

In late 2008, Brian's brother Colin would bring his guitar skills to the group and the trio would shift their focus to vocal-driven lounge/pop.

In 2009, Andrew joined the group on drums, allowing Athletes in Slacks to rid themselves of a laptop on stage.

In 2010, Kirk joined the group on bass and banjo.

"With a sound that flips between sexy downtempo, smooth guitar-driven arrangements and what could possibly be construed as really good "adult film" soundtrack; Athletes in Slacks serve up an unusually catchy cache that is sure to engage your ears."
