The Slew Rocks Brooklyn in One-Time Tour

theslew-brooklyn-hificartel

Last Wednesday, we caught The Slew on the Brooklyn stop of their one-time tour. The tour is a live presentation of their album, 100%, which has been four and a half years in the making.

Kid Koala and DJ P-Love’s expert turntabslisim was met with hard-hitting rhythms from Myles Heskett on drums and Chris Ross on bass and keys. Each DJ manned a set of turntables, with a third turntable mounted on a drum stand. All of the vocals came from the 80 custom records that Kid Koala cut for the tour.

They started the set with the album’s title track, “100%”, and went through almost the entire album in sequential order. Each member of the band clearly loves what they do, their passion and enthusiasm came across strongly throughout the set. In a great moment towards the end of the show, Kid Koala connected Chris Ross’ bass to his mixer to manipulate the sound.
