The Slack
Upcoming local shows
Sound description: Catchy pop songs with smart lyrics
Formed: 2005
City: Dallas, TX
The Slack began slowly in 2004 as an idea more than a band. Dallas musicians Chris Holt and Lindsay Graham created the concept of The Slack and began writing songs together over the course of the next year. Eric Neal and Chris Carmichael joined the band, but unfortunately the band stalled, due to Holt's demanding schedule with his other bands, so The Slack became defunct. They were called "the best band that never was"... until now.
In February 2007, Chris Holt and Eric Neal resurrected
The Slack with drummer Tom Bridwell, keyboardist
Steven Luthye, and bassist David Deshazo. The Slack
has two full-length albums set for release in 2007 -
"Summer Reverb" (a Holt/Bridwell album that was
originally released in 2005), and the brand new
"Wishful Sinking," featuring all five members.
And so ladies and gentlemen - better late than never - welcome back The Slack.

The Beach Boys with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Beach Boy trivia: Though surfing was a prominent theme in many of the Beach Boys' early songs, Dennis Wilson was the only original member who surfed. "Kokomo" was the Beach Boys' first hit in 20 years and ended up being their biggest selling single. Paul McCartney once said that "God Only Knows" was the most beautiful pop song ever written.
