Organizers of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival announced that Slint are now confirmed as part of their “Don’t Look Back” series. It was announced that the band will be performing their genre-defining album Spiderland in its entirety in both Europe and the US.
Slint have been credited with spawning the post-rock movement of the 90’s with their innovative take on song structure and their sparse, yet haunting lyrics. Spiderland release in 1991 was their second and final... MORE

Cobalamin ... of New Morning Trend
(and I just noticed today!) From wikipedia.org:
Slint was a rock band consisting of Brian McMahan (guitar and vocals), David Pajo (guitar), Britt Walford (drums), Todd Brashear (bass on Spiderland) and Ethan Buckler (bass on Tweez). They formed in Louisville, Kentucky, United States in 1986 from the remains of Squirrel Bait. Though they disbanded circa 1991, they continue to be a massive influence on today's post-rock scene.
History
Slint's first album Tweez was rec... MORE

My Slint piece from Punk Planet #66 was accompanied by a Q&A with Slint guitarist David Pajo.
Here it is. It's dated - the band was still rehearsing for the tour. If you know nothing about Slint, don't start here - start with Invisible Histories: Slint (Part 1).
Slint has been officially back together for a few months now. How much of that time are you all in the same room playing?
Almost every weekend for the past three months or so. Before that we were me... MORE

This is part three of the Slint piece I wrote for Punk Planet Magazine in 2005 (issue #66). This is the end of the article. An interview with Slint's David Pajo and a few extras are left. Enjoy!
KIDS FROM KENTUCKY
David Yow, who first heard the band when Albini was mixing Tweez, was struck immediately by the contrast of the music and the music-makers. "For being kids from, you know, Kentucky, I was flabbergasted by their creativity and their imagination and how matu... MORE

This is part two of the Slint piece I wrote for Punk Planet Magazine in 2005 (issue #66). I'll be posting the entire piece and a few extras here. Enjoy!
"IT SEEMED INCOMPLETE"
When Slint formed in 1985, they weren't called Slint. They played their first show during a service at a Unitarian church as "Small Tight Dirty Tufts of Hair; BEADS."
At the time it was just Walford, Pajo, and Buckler (whose dad belonged to the church). Walford was 15; Pajo and Buckler we... MORE

This is part one of the Slint piece I wrote for Punk Planet Magazine in 2005 (issue #66). I'll be posting the entire piece and a few extras here. Enjoy!
Sometime around 1992, David Yow - the cowboy-boot-stomping, drunken-wailing singer for The Jesus Lizard - made a grown man cry.
"I was in Germany," Yow remembers, "I was at a bar talking to this local German guy and he said, "When is Slint going to come to play? I love them. I really want to see them."
"And I s... MORE

Sometimes explosions are quiet.
I wrote about Slint last year just before a series of reunion shows nobody ever would have predicted...even as reunion shows became the most predictable thing. Next to math, of course. And the fact that war never solves the problems it sets out to solve.
Ah-hem.
So I wrote about Slint for Punk Planet. I tried my best to tell the history of the band, which, best I could tell, had never been done all that well. In future posts I'... MORE

I had the fortune to be reunited with 2 boxes worth of CDs and some crates of vinyl that I had put into storage for several years recently. Besides the amount of inside-humor of going through albums that I thought were the absolute shit in high school, there were a few specifics that I was looking for to revitalise my current music collection. Besides the Prong albums, which were unfortunately alittle scratched, I found what I had been missing all these years. Why did I put s... MORE
