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. The documentary was to explore the life and times of notorious west coast recluse Jack Slew and his short-lived but ultimately brilliant music career. 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 were brought in to put a contemporary spin on the finished and unfinished source material provided to the director. They worked for a long time on the psych/garage rock-influenced score, only for the filming to collapse and any release to be canned. Forward to Koala and Dylan meeting the former rhythm section of Grammy Award-winning Australian rock band Wolfmother. They 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.

Before embarking on tour, Eric & Dylan got together with producer Mario C (Beastie Boys) to piece together their scoring work and created The Slew 100% release. Originally conceived as a tour only release, it was decided that some extra stock should be pressed up post tour to allow people in non-tour markets to experience The Slew without getting gouged on post-tour E-Bay prices or anything. Brash, loud and defiantly turned up to eleven. The Slew Tour is coming to your town. Don't miss it.
