Kid Koala Presents The Slew: Live
Brought to you by Filter Magazine
Six turntables meets the ex-Wolfmother rhythm section.
A couple of years back Eric San (aka Kid Koala) and Dylan J. Frombach (aka Dynomite D) were approached to soundtrack a new documentary feature film that was in production. Koala was already well known for his uncanny turntable manipulation, whilst Dylan had remixed Money Mark and collaborated with the Beastie Boys, amongst others. The duo worked for a long time on the psych rock-influenced score, only for the filming to collapse and any release to be canned. Although the film may never see the light of day, its music is about to be brought to life on stage.
Recently Koala & Dylan met the former rhythm section of Grammy Award-winning Australian rock band Wolfmother and began telling them all about the film and its lost music. Chris Ross and Myles Heskett loved the clips and urged that the material had to be heard; subsequently Kid Koala and the guys decided to put a show on the road.
After intensive rehearsals the show is now ready to go. Featuring drums, bass/keys and the DJs working across a truly excessive six turntables, the set is seventy minutes of raw guitar cuts and heavy beats. We can guarantee that you will never have heard anything quite like this and also that you are unlikely to again. It’s a one-off tour, so when it stops in your town you’ll either be there or will have missed it forever.
Anyone who has seen previous Kid Koala events will not be disappointed – from Kid Koala’s incendiary solo turntable spectaculars to the Nufonia book launch, Deltron 3030 live to the Short Attention Span Theater.
Brash, loud and defiantly turned up to eleven. The Slew Tour is coming to your town. Don’t miss it.

So, I am kind of confused on this one, according to the Wolfmother MySpace Upcoming shows section, on Oct. 4th, Wolfmother is playing at the NRL Finals at ANZ Stadium in Sydney?
So who is correct? I really dont want to buy a ticket then have the show get canceled and have the collaborative disband and never be get to see the show…
Thanks

Hi Lee. performing with the Slew is the “Ex-Wolfmother Rhythm Section.” So wolfmother has a new Rhythm Section for their album/tour.
The Slew show will be happening with the “Ex-Wolfmother Rhythm Section.” Namely, Chris Ross on bass/keyboards, and Myles Heskett on drums. The turntable duties will be split between Kid Koala and DJ P-Love on 6 turntables.

Is the Slew just a side project for Chris and Myles? When they finish this tour, will they head back to their band called “Palace of Fire”?

Hi Henry,
yes, we were fortunate enough to align everyone’s schedules to make these 9 Slew shows happen. After the Chicago date, Chris and Myles are heading back to Sydney to continue recording with Palace of Fire.
Thanks for checking in….
