About The Slowdance

The Slowdance started out in in the Summer of 2005 and it took until summer 2006 to sort out a solid lineup, since when we've been gigging as frequently as we can.

We recorded two demo songs in late 2006 with Todd Campbell and they are here for you to enjoy. We recorded again with Todd again in the summer of 2007 and these tracks can be found on our debut EP 'Rapture and Ruin' on Rat Patrol Records (Chuck Ragan, Mexican Disaster Squad, In The Red & Attack Vipers) available now at http://www.ratpatrolrecs.com

We are always looking for gigs, if you need to contact us either send us a message or leave us a comment, if you're not a myspace member then email us: CONTACT@THESLOWDANCE.CO.UK
You can also speak to us individually if you want, just click on the names in the band members section.

We have been lucky enough to play with:

The Cut Ups / Chillerton / Above Them / The Draft / Walter Schreifels / Attack Vipers! / OK Pilot / The Dead City Stereo / Milloy / The Don Ramos Players / Restless Youth / Shaped By Fate / Captain Insano / Gunrack? / Haddonfield / Former Cell Mates / From Plan to Progress / Blackbeard / The Computers / SKWAD / The Meltmen / Mike Borgia / Bedford Falls / Twist the Knife / The Arteries / A New Day / Almost Home / No Good Reason / Damaged Goods / The Plight /

and we're looking forward to meeting the rest of you.

flowerfeeder	Jul 5 2008 5:46 PM Hey, guys. Any chance of you ever getting the new music up on amazon or iTunes for download? Anywhere other than mailorder from Rat Patrol? Yeah, I ordered the disc from them early this year and never got it unfortunately. Contacted the fucker(s) several times, but never heard back. I guess you can say I totally got ripped off. Your music really made an impact on me when I first stumbled across this page and really wish I had a way to get it. Later!

Dead Rails	Jul 2 2008 1:11 AM Yo, we’ve got a couple of new tunes up. They’re called Babycat and Galloping Foxley. They’re only demos, so it’d be cool to know what you think. Take it easy, Dead Rails

SOLUTIONS	Jun 3 2008 4:17 AM OF COURSE i'll be there, sweet cheeks... i very much look farward to it. I'm temporarily going xEDGEASFUCKx so i think i'll be both too shy and sober for any co-mic action with our Hugh... but i sincerely hope this Enablers cover rumour proves to be true. "that's what you do to me! when everything breaks your heart!"
