The slab came together via a mutual love of (our) guitars and how they sound through our Vox's and Marshalls.  Nick, Axe, Cliff and Michael have been playing together on and off for about 10 years. We've got a wide range of influences from Neil Young to Grandaddy, to The Faces and The Smiths and The Decemberists, via a healthy chunk of homegrown story-telling songs, some gentle, some louder, some both, some old some, new.  The main idea is four people in a room making good sounds together for the fun of it, playing for people when we get the chance.
