Slack Attack (NL)

Imagine a beverage that makes you wide awake in the morning but is subtle enough for the night. Slack Attack is that stirred cocktail with the freshness of a slice of lime but has the unexpected twist of a shot of Tabasco. Pour some sugar on it and don’t forget to serve it cold. The rhythm section guarantees a confidential groove while the horns garnish it with flavours from all over the world.

Last year they played a handful shows (Grasnapolsky, Rotown and Grenswerk) to figure out how to translate the songs on stage. A year later they’re back as a 7-piece outfit with a funky set full of danceable songs. Inspired by acts as the Talking Heads, Serge Gainsbourg and Herp Alpert.
