Sloe is a rock and roll band from San Jose, Ca. Formed from the ashes of a band called SEED, Sloe made a small yet distinguished mark on the Bay Area music scene until their ‘halt’ in 2004. After a few line-up changes in the band’s infancy, the line-up remains solid to this day with members Rob Campbell (Guitar/Vocals), Joe Nathan (Guitar/Vocals), Müller (Bass/Vocals), and Eric Powers (Drums).
Sloe released 2 full length albums while an active unit, “Inexact Replica” (Sessions Records, Scotts Valley, Ca) and “The Night All Systems Fail” (Punt! Records, San Jose, CA.). Other notable releases were a CD single on Cargo Records (San Diego, CA), a tribute CD for legends Shudder To Think (Engineer Records, UK), and an appearance on an early X-Box snowboard game soundtrack called “Amped”.
Sloe travelled the entire West Coast and beyond in their Ford Econoline van whenever possible, playing in basements, churches, teen centers, on festival stages, and in strip mall dive bars wherever allowed. Often told to turn their volume down, Sloe tried, but were always a little too loud. They liked it that way.

With a belief strong philosophy passed through the years of rock and roll, not much has changed in the heads of these 4:

“Get down, or get out”.

The members of Sloe are currently very active in the Bay Area music scene with bands such as The Mumlers, Careless Hearts, Orbiter 500, Dr. Nurse, and many others. Sloe hits the stage once again starting in the summer of 2010.

Thanks for listening.
