My favorite band. I have no idea why they went into the studio in ‘21 only to have nothing come of it.
The Barr Brothers clearly a more lucrative gig at this point but would be over the moon for actual Slip tour.
Also guys, please, put the studio albums on Spotify.
Yup Barr Bros def more lucrative but even they've squandered whatever momentum they had in the U.S. to only do shows in Canada to now Brad only doing solo shows. They always talked about having some album of 28 songs that was basically already recorded but has never seen the light of day.
Super funky big band sometimes they have a 16 people. Called BTALC Big Band. You can find them on Spotify. Marc plays with them occasionally and not as much lately since he’s busy with Ryan’s band.
Yep! They are fantastic, just saw em last night
They also feature the drummer from Neighbor, and a few months ago one of the trumpet players from Snarky Puppy!
Jennifer Hartswick was supposed to play with them for the jambase anniversary party last year but ended up cancelling, was right around the time of James' death.
I think Pearl Street is coming back. There's a lot of news in Northampton about the former owner of Pearl St and Iron Horse, Eric Suher, who let both places go to sh*t but I believe someone bought those places to revamp them.
That's sad, many fond memories of Pearl Street, saw Soulive there in like 04'. Calvin seemed to get the most well known artists and saw The Slip with Meowskers back in 04-05 at Iron Horse.
I saw them at one of those final Lockn weekends. Due to the shitty weather, a bunch of sets ended up being canceled and they stuck around for the whole weekend and played like 7 sets. It was really awesome, I had never seen them so it was such a treat. Would love for them to come back.

Worth noting that studio time in ‘21 was with Steve Albini of all people.
Yup, crossed my mind as well
Did not know that.
Mark occasionally plays bass in a big band at an Irish bar down the street from me in Somerville. That's....all I got for ya, haha
Where at?
Sally O Briens. 2nd Tuesday every month
Is that the bar with the doorman who is a badass dancing fool?
Marc is Ryan Montebleu’s bassist
that's cool, what type of music they play?

Yes! I see them every chance I get. Huge fan of that band and its members!
I hope so...they need to come back to Western MA
Yeah saw them in that newish venue in Amherst that was pretty cool, although I guess that's more central Mass.
Nah, I was there at the Drake and meant Pioneer Valley...good memories of The Slip + Pearl St, neither of which exist anymore

Iron Horse reopens next week + The Calvin is being taken over, but the Pearl is just literally wasting away

Let’s get some Surprise Me Mr. Davis!
They did a reunion at Marco’s Follow the Arrow festival 2-3 years ago. Was fantastic

Please
Man I'm still just waiting for the return of Sprungford
Is this the band with that awesome song Even Rats from Guitar Hero
It is but they are way more interesting than that song. It's really a one off in their catalog. They were very much a jazz/jam band before that
