The Slackers - LIVE

I went to see the Slackers in Sheffield on Saturday, nearly didn't go too even though I managed to wrangle a couple of guest list tickets, but I managed to convince a friend to come along and man it was amazing!!!!

The Skints - Proper quality, I wasn't mad keen on the recordings but live on a big stage they are great. The drummer has the best vocals I've heard in a long time, and the stage presence is great at the front of the stage, however I did wonder how 'ghetto' their home town is in comparison to what they say it is, i'm thinking more Guildford than Elephant and Castle if you get me. Lol. I might be wrong. Anyway, they were very good.

The Slackers - MINT MINT MINT! I'm not missing another great ska gig again, they are just amazing, all the band members looked like they were loving it, and they just had a vibe of 'proper fucking cool' about them. My life may never be the same.

I saw 'em the last time they came round, with Pama International and the Pietasters. I never get over how cool the Slackers bassist looks, especially with that old Vox. I dream of being as awesome as Marcus Geard

I missed that gig for a friend's bday eurovision night
..and she didn't even turn up til 10!! could've gone anyway
Gah!!

u have no idea how much id give to see the slackers, grrr

Go see them then!

evertime they tour i seem to be busy skint or not find out till too late, it cuts me, it really does. 'close my eyes' in particular is one of my favorite pure ska reccords of all time!

mate i went to the very same gig

was so good,

skints were wicked i had the same opinion as you before i saw them but i proper like them now.

the slackers were mind blowing

was wicked when they came into the crowd

unbelievably tight band they deffinatly know how to perform

well worth seeing

The best bit was at the end when loads of people fucked off to get the train and it left a really intimate crowd, OH and old dog too. What a tune!

I'd love to go see them in Leeds next Sunday.
