"Charlie Slick. This is the greatest thing in the entire world. I’ve become complacent in the fight against the ‘hands in pocket / head slightly nodding’ approach to enjoying live music. This guy took an entire room and gave them absolutely no choice other than to dance. I took approximately 18 bubbles to the mouth area, and my shoes were covered in glitter. I can’t really provide a report in detail, but the next day I would hum some tune and then blurt out “..with my synthesizers.” Just go to every show he ever does."
Last weekend, I caught Ann Arbor’s Charlie Slick at a house party in Woodbridge. Between the confetti, the glitter, the smoke machine and the dudes hanging from the light fixture (literally), I didn’t hear much of the music. But their — it was two guys, I think — Myspace (myspace.com/charlieslick) has four songs for you to check out. They’re pretty catchy in a hipster-kids-get-sequencer-and-then-do-electro-vocal-freakout-and-half-rap-over-it sorta way. Fun, dance-y, whatever.
But it’s the spirit I like most. CS had the crowd going crazy like they rarely do (anymore? rumor has it people in, like, the ‘60s danced or something) at rock shows. And Charlie Slick will be keeping kids dancing at their upcoming house party show in Ypsilanti on July 28, Barnfest in Ann Arbor on August 10 and The Elbow Room on August 24. It’s just a hunch, but I’m betting CS will play a few more house parties this summer. Keep an eye online. | RDW"
.... Lucky for us, Charlie Slick went on around 2:30 to give us a break and initiate a dance party. Charlie Slick is a fucking machine and he means serious business. He shows up and it’s like “Alright you monkeys. I’m gonna play some songs and you’re going to dance. And even if you think you’re not going to dance, I will fucking make you dance. And I will throw glitter on you and blow bubbles at you and you’re going to eat this shit up because I am awesome.” And he does and we do and he is and then I black out and wake up at 3pm on Sunday with a pounding headache and glitter in my hair.

The First official Charlie Slick show took place at the former "Totally Awesome House" in Ann Arbor on February 8th of 2005. Since then I, Charlie Slick have played more then 200 shows, ranging from House parties to Festival Stages. My shows have been described as a high energy dance party. Lights, Glitter, Bubbles, Confetti and Time travel are trade marks of my presence, along with catchy synthesizers licks and chant-able chorus'. Along the way I was lucky enough to meet and team up with Andy Gabrysiak, who is responsible for most of the artwork associated with the Charlie Slick brand. Andy was my number 2 on stage until Shelley took his place in Early 2008. Shelley is the coolest girl I've ever known, and just recently started playing bass for Detroit punk rockers TYVEK. In her absence, Chris Sandon of Dirty Brothers Productions stepped in on the Keys, and I now play shows in any combination of Chris, Shelley, and I. Since 2005, I've released 4 full enough albums. Pass the time machine (2005), Walter Carlos (2007), Edward Murphy (2008), In my Room (2008). I was nominated for Best Electronic Artist by the Detroit music awards in 2008, and Best Electronic Album for Edward Murphy in 2009. I am currently in the Studio for my 5 Album, Elron Hubbard which I hope to self release with distribution in late 2009 followed by an extensive tour. What does the future hold for Charlie Slick? I'm not totally sure, but I do know that I will never quit. See you around.
We miss you!!! I've been playing your stuff for parties a lot lately and everyone wants to see you again really hard. Is there a date you could make it here in december?
With your music...I am border-line Obsessed... I still have the Cd Chris burned me awhile back... yup and I'm still rockin' out... Hopefully I can be apart of the glitter action and see you Live...That would just be FabYouLusss!
My friends and I miss you and your awesome performances! Hope you have some performances near Mt. Pleasant mi, or some more in the Detroit area if my friends and I are home that weekend lol. Keep up the good work and I hope all is well.
