Slo-Mo is the brainchild of Philadelphia steel guitarist Mike "Slo-Mo" Brenner. Brenner has spent time on the road and in the studio playing steel guitar with such bands as Marah, Magnolia Electric Company and Badly Drawn Boy, but Slo-Mo featuring Mic Wrecka is something totally different.
Slo-Mo featuring Mic Wrecka combines Brenner's lap steel-driven grooves and the hip hop poetry of frontman Mic Wrecka. Backed by a tight and funky band and singers Sue Rosetti and Steph Hayes (from Stargazer Lily), Brenner and Wrecka effortlessly meld genres, creating a steel guitar/hip-hop hybrid unlike anything you’ve ever heard.
The new disc "Gimme What You Got" (Authentic Records) is their most rocking to date, boasting more steel guitar than previous efforts and organic, live band arrangements that lay down the funk.
