Spent most of the last few days listening to all of the Cheater Slicks album. Catalog is fantastic top to bottom and still pumping out the hits. Leave your favorite Slicks songs, live videos, and adulation here.



Just a perfect band. Ill-Fated Cusses from 2023 is as good as anything they've ever done. Peerless.

I vividly remember seeing them play this one before the album came out and being floored by it, on a weeknight in Columbus with maybe 30 people max there. Just the best band.

Really hope they make it to the West Coast again one day, but doubt it’s in the cards.

      Wanted to make it happen this year for the retreat but was scared last year selling out was a fluke and couldn’t spend the money to make it happen. If there is a third retreat though I’m making it happen

          My copy of "Whiskey" came with a Don Howland-penned gothic horror tale about a traumatized inventor and a scuzzy demon of rock ‘n’ roll that respawns every time you try to kill it. I thought it was pretty cool

            BloodstainsAcrossMantovani Very cool!
            I love finding treasure in records. Best thing I've come by is a flyer for a Blacktop show folded up in a 68 Comeback 7".

              i can't contain my undying love for cheater slicks.

              i was also told in september they're TRYING to do a west coast jaunt late summer/early fall.

                Yeah the retreat was gonna be part of it. Not happening, but I think next year will be the year

                  Ten hours of the Slicks. They're right up there with Teengenerate as "Scientifically Provable As Thee Best Band Ever". Just depends on what stats you use.

                  Kings.

                  will always be grateful to the slicks for soundtracking a reeeeaal big nervous breakdown for me in 2015, spent a bonkers walk home from my horrid job with 'walk into the sea' on repeat one day

                  Larry Hardy and I did an hour-long interview this week where we talked about the Cheater Slicks for a few minutes, including reissue plans. Should drop next week if anyone is interested. It's the third-installment of a series that's on Paperface. I wanted to knock that one out -- life happened in between the first two interviews and this one -- cuz we're working on getting the Termbo band back together for this zine we've discussed on here.

                  Getting James Arthur on bass guitar was a real win for the Slicks.

                    Should be ready to start rolling in a few days. Slicks would be a great interview

                      First two parts of the interview were excellent. Can’t wait to read the conclusion

                        Thank you both for the kind words.

                        I'll be in West Texas this week. Looking to get back into it when I return.

                        I would totally buy a "Songs That Cheater Slicks Tought Us" album. So many great covers of stuff I'd never heard before. Like this obscure one by Butch Phillips for instance.

                        Just found this playlist on YouTube

                        Edit: It doesn't seem to work to post a playlist, but search for "Songs that Cheater Slicks Tried To Play". Dana Hatch himself is the man behind it.

                        Let's see, I think playlist links have worked for me before:

                        there is at least one Songs the Cheater Slicks Taught Ys comp on soulseek. I am assuming the person made it. I can look and post it later.

                        Side note: there is also a good Songs Jack O Fire Taught Us comp on soulseek too.

                        There's a "Songs The Mummies Taught Us" on YouTube:

                        I was thinking yesterday I'd like a Cheater Slicks play the hits collection of all their covers

                        There’s been a euro reissue of Walk Into The Sea and Reality is A Grape. I’m looking into getting copies in. They will be around $25-$27 a piece. Let me know if anyone is interested in copies
