  • The Slants Convention Presskit 2011
    In 2007, The Slants kicked off their career in Contact Info: a small dive bar in Portland, OR. Three years later, we could barely believe what we achieved in that short time: ten tours across North America, released three albums, we rejected a million dollar recording contract, and performed more anime conventions than any other band in existence. However, the greatest barometer of success has been the feedback of the fans and the people we’ve worked with. I am contacting you today because we’d love to work with you. Sure, the band has a track record of success. The Slants LLC With over 1,500 TV shows, radio stations, 8026 SE Reedway St magazines, and websites talking about the Portland, OR 97206 group, it should be no surprise how many (226) 24-SLANT results you get when doing an online search of “The Slants.” But the best reason to host Management: The Slants at your event is that we are Last Stop Booking Agency professional and yet, easy to work with. We [email protected] respond quickly to every inquiry, we spend (503) 754-8703 time with your attendees to make sure they have the best experience possible. It’s no Publicity: In Music We Trust PR wonder why we were said to be “pound for [email protected] pound, dollar for dollar, the best value and (503) 557-9661 guests any convention can bring in.” Official Websites: [Letter From the Editor] So take a look and get in touch with us.

    LIETUVOJE ĮGARSINTA KNYGA VISIEMS IR NIEKAM Lietuvos muzika ir Kūrybos Laisvė: džiazas, rokas ir eksperimentai. Išpažintys, interviu, analizė ir informacija Mindaugas Peleckis Lietuvos Respublika, radikaliai.lt, 2016 TURINYS Vietoje pratarmės. Ir kada gi jūs nustosite groti? Knyga, skatinanti optimizmą: Lietuvos muzika gerėja. Ar tikrai? Išvados Vietoje pratarmės. Ir kada gi jūs nustosite groti? Jei galite negroti, negrokite. Apie tuos, kurie negali, čia kalbėsime. Knyga, skatinanti optimizmą: Lietuvos muzika gerėja. Ar tikrai? Knyga sudaryta atsitiktinai renkantis jau parašytus tekstus. Kai kurie jų buvo publikuoti, o kiti dienos šviesos dar nematė. Knyga kalba apie minties laisvę, kurios esminė išraiška pasaulyje ir Lietuvoje yra menas, šiuo atveju – muzika. Per džiazą, roką ir eksperimentus, skaidant ir klasifikuojant juos pagal mikroerdves bei mikroepochas, knyga leis pajusti Kūrybos Laisvę tiek, kiek tai gali leisti padaryti tekstas. Knyga kalba apie Muziką ir tai, kas šalia jos. Teatrą, vaizdagarsį, garsų rinkimą, garso filosofiją. Knyga man ir tau, jam ir jai, vaikams, jauniems diedams ir seniams, veteranams ir naujokams. Knyga apie Lietuvą be garso ir su garsu. Garsų šukės, garsų kontūrai, garsų spalvos, balta muzika, garsai po smūgio, garsai be scenos, garso vaiduokliai, Lietuvos akustikai... Knyga skirta Kūrybos Laisvei. Nors jos autorius vienas, tačiau žmonių, kuriems norisi padėkoti, labai, labai daug. TEKSTAI Lietuvos kultūros mikroerdvės ir mikroepochos XX–XXI a. Alytus „Mikroerdvės ir mikroepochos“ ketina apžvelgti Lietuvos kultūros mikroerdves ir mikroepochas XX–XXI a. Dažniausiai kalba eis apie muziką, eksperimentinį meną, tačiau visko gali būti, kad nejučiom teks prisiliesti ir prie kitų kultūros aspektų. Kadangi mikroerdvės toli gražu nėra tokios mažos, kaip gali pasirodyti, pradėsiu nuo vienos vieno puikaus Lietuvos miesto grupės.
