Artist description
See Colin Slash are an enigma wrapped up in a layer of gooey caramel and then smothered in rich milk chocolate, making for a thoroughly satisfying industrial-dance experience. Known for attempting such foolish feats as trying to smoothly integrate stylistic influences as diverse as powernoise and folk, as well as playing fully electronic concerts without the aid of prerecorded audio, SCS enjoy bragging about the fact that they had a minor hit in a single small club in San Francisco (and apparently one in New York, but we can't verify that) with the track Hardcore! in 1999. You don't even want to know how long it took to get that God-forsaken song recorded. The first SCS CD, Command Prompt Music, will be available soon from their website at http://www.seecolinslash.com. It will feature a brand-new remix of Hardcore! as well as a fine selection of unreleased songs, covering such hard-hitting highly politicized topics as Eric's lovelife, Greg's job at the vet's office, and children's pop culture in the 1980s. Shortly following that will be full CD covering a range of industrial classics, played entirely on acoustic guitar. You think I'm joking, but won't you feel like an idiot when it comes out. Then we will all point and laugh. "Ha ha HA!" we will say. Then there will be a brief song-and-dance number. Then cookies will be served. |

Artist History
One day in 1998 Eric was returning a sampler he had purchased at a Guitar Center store in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Sherman Oaks. He struck up a conversation with Greg, whom he had never met prior to that day. They spoke of recent concerts that they had both attended, and their experiences with various electronic music-related products. They parted ways, never to see each other again.OR SO THEY THOUGHT.Several months later, whilst walking through a dining hall at UC Berkeley (400 miles away), Eric and Greg encountered each other again, and found that they were living several yards away from each other.FATE?Perhaps. |
