The Slots



At the beginning of 2008, several (5) friends [Eric; Paja; Gerry; Dave; Belda] established the special kind of „friendship“ band. All the experiences, thoughts, ideas around this „BandFamily“ The Slots and around their friends from the year 2008 are recorded at the „book“ Plastic Culture [ecophilosophy and „family“ stories]



Natocili jsme desku plnou energie s prirozeným zvukem, která tepe. Zmenou oproti debutu jeucelenost. Deska Plastic Culture vznikala podstatne kratší dobu než její predchudkyne, takže senám podarilo zachytit všechny energie „cerstvé“. Shrnuli jsme rok spolecného života avýsledkem je kniha, sbírka momentu, které bude moci posluchac “císt“ od zacátku do konce.

Pevne veríme, že na ni bude stále co objevovat.
