Slickee Boys

[Bombay Chutney]

It appears the Slickees have decided to return for their annual reunion gig:  12/26 at Iota.
 
 Their reunions usually consist of 2 shows - one in DC and one in Baltimore.  Anybody know anything about a Baltimore gig?
 
 The Beatnik Flies and Switchblade are also doing a reunion gig at Iota on 12/27.

Cybernetic Dreams of pi is now on CD!  What a fuckin' great album!

Holy crap!  I had given up on that.  You can get "Uh-Oh...No Breaks" too!
 
 Thanks for the tip!

I just bought Cybernetic two minutes ago.  I'm fuckin' stoked!

Sweet!  Will be getting it too.  Only had a live cassette tape that I found years back.  Now can have their classic.

I picked up both.  I've had a Napster'd version of "Cybernetic..." for a couple of years, but it sucks.   I had a hard time finding any of the "Uh-Oh" tracks, even on Napster and Kazaa.  I can't wait to get these.

I've heard there's a bit of debate over who opened for who.  I like to think that U2 opened.  How cool would that be?

FYI - I've been told there is no Baltimore gig this time around.  Only the one show at Iota.

I used to be in a band called Date Bait with Kim Kane, and he told me that U2 opened for the Slickies.  So, I suppose he is telling the truth.  But, it's hard to trust skinny people.

Shoddy, which instrument did you play in Date Bait?  I loved that band.  And are you "Shoddy" on inDC?
 
 I saw the Slickee Boys open for the Kinks at Constitution Hall in 1984... there were a bunch of new wave chicks in mini-skirts dancing to them in the front rows, but unfortunately most of the crowd were Lawnguyland/Newjerseyans from GW, and all they could think about was that they wanted to hear the Kinks.

I heard it from my English teacher, who, coincidentally, is married to the Slickee's former manager.
 
 He was also in Tiny Desk Unit (as featured on the 930 â?? Live record).

I was at that show.  One of my first concerts.  It was great.

This should be a good show and a fun night as always with the Slickee Boys. Would be nice to have Switchblade open for them. Better yet, The Wanktones/Switchblade/The Slickees.
 
 This would be a great night for the older forum DC area residents/members to introduce the newer and younger ones to some great old DC entertainment. Let them see what they were missing all those years ago.
