I first came to be aware of this sweet band from Minneapolis when they played two days in a row at Silent Barn while I was living there... once at this sick daytime barbecue show we did with Homostupids. The weekend got off to a rough start when members of The Sleaze pissed of some of the Silent Barn roommates by calling us all "hipsters," but after a few beers and some apologies we were all good.
Here's a pic of The Sleaze str8 chilling on the roof of Silent Barn:
Anyway, The Sleaze wowed me with their rocking jams. Super powerful performances by dudes that are pretty young. It's like that punk band at your high school (you know the one, you totally had a crush on the bassist) if they actually had good songs.
When I asked him about the break up, Mark said:
We're pretty bummed about quitting but Conor is off to Thailand to fix the govt/milk goats. We got a new 7" coming out on Leather Bar recs - just got them today. We also recorded our lp a few months ago and hopefully that will come out soon too but who knows. We are so lzzzyyyyyy!!
Well there you have it. Look out for their upcoming releases. In the meantime, jam these mp3s and think of The Sleaze. Gonna miss u, bros :(
