About Slaughter
Former Vinnie Vincent Invasion members Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum formed Slaughter with guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias in 1988 in an attempt to cross over to pop audiences. Their metal style's main focus is on catchy melodies and Mark Slaughter's impressive vocal range, particularly his somewhat nasal falsetto. Their first two studio albums sold quite well until their style fell out of favor with the alternative explosion. The group struggled throughout the 1990s, and on February 5, 1998, Kelly died in an auto accident; his final recordings appeared a year later on Eternal Live. Still, the band managed to regroup without him, releasing Back to Reality in 1999 with new guitarist Jeff Blando. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

Kids MGMT |
| With 2005's "Time To Pretend" MGMT created a musical moment that would resonate for the next three years, putting it amongst the creme de la creme of new millennium indie anthems. With latest single, "Kids", MGMT fail to scale the heights they did with their first single, but still deliver a track that has met with strong approval from such critical sources as Pitchfork media, Zane Lowe and, surprisingly, dance music bible Mixmag who cited it as one of their "tunes of the year". Sporting an overridingly childlike melody that shimmers due to the interesting use of a distorted stylophone, the track washes over the listener thanks to the great use of a Gary Numan-esque synth line. This is all brought to the fore on the new remix by Belgian dance maestros Soulwax, who turn the muted indie cool of the original into an irrepressible club monster. If any evidence is needed, here is a clip of Erol Alkan playing the track at the recent Pukkelpop festival. Quite simply, amazing! | |
