Thanks for listing this Ska T! YES the SLACKERS will be performing at Sugar Nightclub on Saturday, June 25th/2005! Tickets will be $15 when purchased in advance at Lyle's Place, Ditch Records, & A&B Sound. They will be playing alongside ONE DROP & CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY!!

Buy early to avoid disappointment as this show could very well sell out. We haven't ever had less than 400 at a Slackers show ( at a bar or festival).

PEACE!! - Wed, 1 Jun 2005 3:15pm

I know Brandon... I dig that song too. I always wished they would have played it when he was in the band before but I guess they had other ones they dug more. But it was and still is one of my favourites:) - Sat, 11 Jun 2005 4:55pm

Dane do you know the line up yet for the 25th??? I just want to know so i can plan my inebriation. Man am I going to get fucked up.............. maybe half ways through our set i'll start pounding the booze, but off stage of course. The last time we played Sugar I had to drink fucking water on stage for fuck sakes. Thats great for straightedgers but not for me. I guess I'll have to keep hopping off, slamming beers/some shots then climb back on and power through the set. Either way will work. Party at the jam spot????? HAHAHHAHA - Sun, 12 Jun 2005 6:32pm

You can avoid all the "Hub-ub". It's called a "pre-party" at the jam spot. - Sun, 12 Jun 2005 8:45pm

Hey Brandon:)

First up it's Captain of Industry
Second up is One Drop
Lastly with the longest set is THE SLACKERS!!!!


Tickets for this show are selling better than they did for the recent Mikey Dread and Dread at the Controls Band at Central Bar & Grill. And that show sold out plenty by 9pm (with doors at 8:30pm).

SLACKERS FANS: HERE ARE SOME WISE WORDS: BUY YOUR TICKET ASAP BECAUSE YOU COULD FIND YOURSELF SOL AT THE DOOR. The Slackers only come every 2 to 3 years so be sure to do what you can!!!:) - Sun, 12 Jun 2005 10:49pm

Hey Scotty!

Could you e-mail me please?

Stoked to know the Slackers are kicking ass in Vancouver!!!!

SAME HERE! I'm growing more confident each day it can and will sell out in Victoria also. Any people that can't get into the Vancouver show should come to the Victoria one. We have more space to fill at our venue (although it still will probably be not enough:) - Sat, 18 Jun 2005 11:02am
