Artist History
Ooze Blues Productions came about to further the cause of the band
"Furious Slugs". Ooze is produced by slugs and rhymes with Blues, but more
importantly it describes the musical stylings of this band. They are
basically
a Blues Band whose blues ooze into rock, R & B, and Rockabilly like country
sound.
Furious Slugs is a very ambiguous even oxymoron name. But, for the band it
expresses a point of view. Just because we didn't make it in music as
teenagers
we're fighters not quitters. We're still throwing furious slugs musically. |
