Slackdaddy Backdaddy!
The boys are back in town, yeah yeah yeah, for one special night only at Caledonia Lounge on March 12th. Joining in the mayhem will be fellow colleagues in rock, Southern Bitch. What with the rarity of a Slackdaddy show these days, you really do owe it to yourself to see this show. Your self will be much happier it didn't wait until Autumn for the next round of Slackdaddy World Domination™ Version 4.0

Keep an eye out for a special surprise appearance or two and a new (old) release in the live archives section. The new album is on the horizon and as always, Athensmusic.net has all the Slackdaddy you need to be a complete person.

Bryan is currently trotting about with Kevn Kinney and Ian can occasionally be seen with Jackpot City so make sure to check them both out!

Ian Werden to try on his Mike Joyce hat....
Saturday's (7/12) 40 Watt all-tribute show starts out with Bigmouth, a band paying tribute, homage, whatever to British under-the-weather sensations The Smiths. The band's lineup includes singer Alex Divine, guitarists Peter Keane and Brian Smith (The Curl), bassist Benji Barton (Boulevard) and drummer Ian Werden (Slackdaddy). You'd be surprised how much Divine's voice matches Morrissey's mopey honking.

New Haxan Films Project Likely Using Athens Music
Haxan Films, the company that was responsible for The Blair Witch Project a few years back, is working on a new film tentatively called @lien. The film, written by a former Athenian, should have Athens music as a key component. On May 30, a scene was filmed at artist Stan Mullins' warehouse that featured Jackpot City as the house party band and what appeared to be a Slackdaddy shirt on one of the characters. Additionally, a number of Athens bands have been asked for usage rights to songs for at least the festival screening of the film and possibly more. Band stickers, flyers and CDs should also make cameos throughout the film as well. Thanks, Haxan, for coming up our way.

Roni and Andrew engage in marital bliss
A most excellent time was had by all last weekend as the Plumlee and McCain merger reached fruition. For those that took pictures at the wedding, feel free to send them to webmaster@slackdaddy.com and I'll post them.

Check out roniandrew.com for some rather hilarious photos of their various hairstyles. Congratulations from all of us here at Slackdaddy HQ and may the most you ever wish for be the least that you receive!
