>From the great midwest The Slats wish you a happy 4th of July. There
is a lot of mess that the U.S. is involved in these days, but by
golly.... We are still happy to be here. Have a beer (or 10), watch
some fireworks, and have a good time...then, listen to your favorite
record...and remember why you love the ROCK.
Things are still pretty busy @ Slats central. We have a couple of
shows booked WAY OFF in the future:
August 27
Big V's Saloon
St. Paul, MN
with: The Dials (+ other local MNPLS bands TBA)
October 27
Triple Rock Social Club
Minneapolis, MN
with: Skyline Rodeo, Bridge Club
Also, Latest Flame Records (www.latestflame.com) has a new compilation
CD coming out in THREE SHORT WEEKS with tracks from:
The Slats (www.theslats.com)
Crime & Judy (www.latestflame.com)
The Gunshy (www.thegunshy.com)
Troubled Hubble (www.troubledhubble.com)
Dutch Courage
Should be pretty sweet. Be sure to ask for it at your local record
store or visit individual band/label websites to order a copy!
Thanks again for a super-excellent year...and we look forward to
hearing from all of you!
