After years of lending his guitar work to LA bands, Darci Cash and The Absentee, Mack Slevin began writing and recording his own songs under the moniker of Flashing Red Lights in 2005. Quickly picked up by Yukon Records, he would lend 5 songs to Yukon’s first release, a split with Portland based Day of Lions.
While still dividing his time among Darci Cash and newer endeavors The Ghost Kings and Valentino, Slevin still finds time for Flashing Red Lights and has recently brought in Jason Wrightsman, Mike Hendry and Zach Schrock from the Absentee and Ben Welch from Darci Cash to fill out his sound. FRL has evolved from stripped down singer-songwriter acoustic pieces to full band indie gems that incorporate lap steel and banjo along with Slevin’s intricate guitar parts.
Playing more and more around his native Los Angeles with hi-profile acts such as the Weather Underground, The Parson Red Heads and the Ric Veda, Slevin and crew recently released a 7-song EP, entitled "Bridges".
Oh, you know. Turning some here and there. I think I'm going to join Americorp so I can go to a big city but there's a Masters degree to finish first. Tricks should be easier to turn in a big city. Darci Cash is back together eh? Good to hear. I still have your first album!
Mac saw you at spaceland last week. Didn't get to say hello-- but March 17 im trying to set up a folk/ indie show at the airliner if you and the guys wanna play. We need more bands if you have any other bands in mind as well.
