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.

Hey Peter,
We just checked and this venue is 19+ I’m afraid.
I’ll see what we can do about recording a couple of these shows.

any word as to around what time the show will start? i can only find that doors are at 7, and the venue’s site doesn’t offer any more than that. a friend and i would love to see this show, but are also trying to see as much of nuit blanche as possible and are just trying to get a feel for the timing. thanks.

Ado, you should contact the venue. their is nothing that we can do to get anyone in who is under the age. but if you speak with the venue maybe it is possible… i really have no idea of the procedures/laws of this situation
good luck!!
