Tony Slug Experience
The Tony Slug Experience (black)
As you should know, Tony Slug has been shaking the earth with his riff-driven punk rock since '78. He has tirelessly toured with his bands BGK, Loveslug, The Nitwitz, and The Hydromatics. Throughout these crusades, Tony has built a vast network of friends in every corner of DIY rock'n'roll. As a tribute to his legacy, this international group of friends has contributed to what would unfortunately become his final record; right after all recordings were on tape, Tony died at the age of 60 after a brief battle with cancer. The end result is an adequate homage to Tony's legend; an album featuring over 30 players/writers, including Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Jennifer Finch (L7), Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters), Jerry A. (Poison Idea), Happy Tom (Turbonegro), and many more! The album was recorded over the past two years during various sessions in both Europe and the US. The biggest chunk was recorded in Tony's home town Amsterdam by producer Steven van der Werff. It contains 12 brand new songs that represent the natural evolution of Tony's rock'n'roll voyage, which covers five decades. The album's booklet is a biography of Tony Slug, written by the renowned Dutch journalist and writer Philippus Zandstra.
