Well, it’s 6:27 p.m.–or three hours and 33 minutes before the secret reunion show we mentioned earlier today on Twitter is set to begin–which means we can now break the silence we promised the band and announce that, at 10 o’clock this evening, Slowride will play a reunion show at Elm Street Tattoo.
Slowride, long a favorite area post-punk outfit, released its last album in February 2006, and shortly thereafter broke up after a move to Massachusetts.
Upon returning to Dallas, the trio moved on to different endeavors: frontman Dan Phillips formed True Widow; bassist Rob Marchant joined The Riverboat Gamblers; and drummer Steve Visneau, well, he became a photographer, sometimes even shooting for us (see his work in this year’s Best Of issue).
Not sure why we had to keep it secret till now, to be honest–maybe because Elm Street Tattoo just doesn’t hold that big of a crowd? Dunno. Either way, we’ll be there. Hope to see you there, too.
