Hey everyone,
just wanted to let you know what's been going on with us. 
First of all, thanks to everyone who came to our texas/louisiana shows.  It was a blast.  We got a lot more shows coming up this year...so keep your eyes open for the Slackers.


Speaking of texas, we just put out a new DVD entitled, "Live at the Flamingo Cantina."  It was filmed at our 2008 austin show.  It looks real nice. Decent quality sound (although the saxophone is never loud enough! hehehe) and is a real good example of what a slackers show feels like.  
Right now you can order it through www.interpunk.com, and www.stubbornrecords.com
Shortly, it will be available in europe through www.phonocaster.com
and we are working on a japanese release through DISK UNION.


Also just in, SLACKER VINYL!  Yes, Self Medication is finally back from the plant.  Once again, it should be available through www.interpunk.com, www.stubbornrecords.com and www.phonocaster.com


Well, so what do the slackers do when we are not on the road?  Yes...besides eating?(check out jays' brilliant video series, wake and bake, on this).   We make more music.  Right now, Jay, Glen, and I have been working on a project tenatively entitled, "Lost and Found."  The slackers have piled up around 30 tracks that have never seen the light of day.  And some of them are pretty good.
  Many are from the last 2 recording sessions but many others are from farther back in the day.   So right now, we are working on finishing the music on some of these tracks before we hand them over to Vic to finish the vocals.  Hopefully, these songs will see the light of day sometime in the early fall.


And...the slackers have been doing a little bit of songwriting rehearsals.  We have been working on new tunes towards a new studio collection/album/whatever to come out at some point in the future.
We might even put some of the rehearsal tracks up on the myspace...so people can hear how we are doing.


Finally, the band has been busy with our side projects.  Jay's crazy baldhead cd continues to scorch up the charts.  Im (dave) almost done with a new rocksteady 7 album and a new blue greens album.  Vic/Marcus/Ara just put out a new sic n mad cd on the stubborn records label.  I think vic just finished a new cd with phil vandereyken/pascuale cangiano called tremoflex2000 or something.  he's out on the road down south for a week to promote it.
So there you go.  On with the band.  On with the show.  Hope to see you out there at some of the live gigs we got coming up.
take care,
Dave
