Bio
.. The Un Fun Slide is an energetic ska band from the suburbs of Southern California. The band was formed in February of 2003 from members of two existing ska bands who came together in search of a band that defied the generic sound of so many bands. Over the next two years, the Un Fun Slide developed its own original style and sound, playing many shows throughout Southern California. ..In April of 2004, the band came out with its first release, entitled "Pitfalls and Perils". The album featured nine tracks of original material that went far beyond the typical living room ska band sound and into a style that no one else had. The album had everything, including songs about love, hate, friends, pizza, and the occasional bum thief, but what was most noted was the energetic blend of ska dance grooves with the power of rock. ..Things began to pick up, and soon UFS was playing shows all around the Southwest. Soon after "Pitfalls and Perils" was released, the band writing more songs for an EP. The follow-up was worked on for two years before the band entered the studio again. The EP, named "Straight Down to Magma", features 8 new tracks of dance grooves and rocking ska-punk was released in 2007, but shortly thereafter, the band dissolved... It is now 2009, and though recently we were under the impression that not all the original members were available to perform with the band, a Starpool show in early May sort of brought us all back together. Austin is semi-unavailable, so we've recruited Anthony Rondina from our friends, The Guilty Parties, to play the bass for us whenever necessary while we make our come-back. Anthony's an amazing guy, and I'm sure we'll have a great time rocking the shows with him... If all goes well, by the end of 2009, The Un-Fun Slide will repair the economy, create world peace, give green energy to the world, save the polar bears, find a cure for cancer, and rock everyone's socks off! Even if things don't go well, your socks are coming off!!!!.. One last thing, our first album, Pitfalls and Perils is scheduled to be re-released with bonus tracks, including some really bad demos from when the band first started, and some new songs on acoustic. It should be pretty fun for those who have been fans since the old days. .. ......
