The Slack Dads are a loose collective of DJs who should be old enough to know better. With age comes wisdom and a musical policy aimed firmly at the mature b-boy, the retired raver and the refined eclectic.
A Slack Dad night promises nuff old gits on the decks - Mixless, Bad Dad, D Triple J (if you're lucky) and Nice Touch Nick (if you're very lucky) - playing proper hip hop, house, d’n’b, breaks, indie, disco, funk, ska and anything else we fancy from back in the day - only the best needs reviving.
Obviously, venues are chosen where seating can be expected for our old legs. Strictly no dress code, but Kickers, big fat white sneakers, or the pipe-n-slippers look will gain you great respect and instant access.
THIS FRIDAY!!! Weapon of Choice Magazine Launch party at the WoC Gallery!
Even though the magazine has been in circulation and available online,
we thought we'd host a little party at the WoC Gallery in celebration
of launching ISSUE 1.
With live painting from some of the
magazines featured artist's such as ANDY COUNCIL, DYLAN SHIPLEY & LORENZO! And of
course your chance to pick up your FREE copy of Issue 1!
We just recently finished our EP and are so proud, all the hard work payed off! If you have a few minutes please give it a listen and tell us what you think :)
"Exciting, Striding and assured. It has an energy reminiscant of everything that was good about the Klaxons debut album.." - BBC Radio Bristol.
"The overall sound echoes that of Bloc Party but with greater conviction and sophistication. Go see them live if you can." - iTunes review.
It's also available to buy through our website and itunes if you really do like it.
