SLACKSTRING is the perfect moniker for the band; laid back, groovy
music providing the soundtrack for summer barbecues and the sport of
sunset watching. Comprised of four guys born and raised adjacent to
the Pacific Ocean in Manhattan Beach, CA, the sound of SLACKSTRING was
crafted as much by the beach lifestyle as it was by local musical
influences from classic bands like The Doors and The Beach Boys to
neighborhood punk pioneers Pennywise and Descendents. Their sound has
been described as Pure Feel-Good Music by L.A. newspaper The Daily
Breeze, and a desert island CD by their legions of dedicated fans.
SLACKSTRING was born out of the long term musical relationship of
Gavin Heaney and Eric Lyman (songwriters/guitarists/vocalists), and
Matt Muir (drums) who have been performing together since their high
school days. Add Brett Thomas on bass and the SLACKSTRING sound is
complete.
Truly a self made band, SLACKSTRING has sold over 5,000 copies of their homemade self-titled CD (aka The Van Album) to fans worldwide, from Russia to Australia. SLACKSTRING emerged from backyard parties to headline venues from Hollywood's House of Blues to the Telus World Ski and Snowboarding Festival in Whistler, B.C. SLACKSTRING's dynamic live show continues to win new fans with every listen. Concerts have paired the band with artists including Jack Johnson, Donavon Frankenreiter, Slightly Stoopid, The Wailers, Common Sense and Grammy award winning
Hawaiian guitarist John Cruz.
SLACKSTRING was recently the musical highlight in award winning
mountain bike movie The Collective and its 'sequel' Roam. The film earned a
nomination for best soundtrack at the X-Dance film festival in large
part to the contribution of the bands three full length songs.
Subsequently, SLACKSTRING's music remains in high demand for various
extreme sports films from surfing to kiteboarding. SLACKSTRING is featured on every episode of the PBS series "Road Trip Nation" in
2006/07.
The highly anticipated follow up album Lay Back pushes the envelope of the band's growth by exhibiting a broad variety of textures and sounds.

While politicians and world leaders are trying to deal with the issue of climate change and how to reduce carbon emissions they are turning a blind eye to the REAL challenge: the end of the oil era! Without cheap oil the modern way of life will die. Or the other way around, the modern way of life depends on cheap oil. We have to overstand the depth of this situation. The modern city life, which especially many westerners take for granted, is a fad. After cheap oil is done it’s all forward to the roots, to mother earth, to a natural way of life. Universal repatriation!
Do you think this will happen in some distant future? Think again, it’s taking place right here and now, in this life!
