| The impossibly influential and somewhat mysterious Slint established its earliest roots when, in 1981, at the ages of eleven and twelve, guitarist Brian McMahan and drummer Britt Walford began playing together in Louisville, KY.Slint itself, the band then comprising Britt Walford, David Pajo, and bassist Ethan Buckler.Jennifer Hartman Records and Tapes label.In 1990, Slint recorded the landmark "Spiderland" album in Chicago
with Brian Paulson both engineering and mixing.The following year, the year in which "Spiderland" was issued by Touch
and Go, Slint broke up.For almost fourteen years, the members did not perform together as Slint.In 2005, however, the band reformed for a brief series of very special
appearances.Slint is a rock band consisting of Brian McMahan (guitar and vocals), David Pajo (guitar), Britt Walford (drums), Todd Brashear (bass on Spiderland) and Ethan Buckler (bass on Tweez).History
Slint's first album Tweez was recorded by Steve Albini in 1987 and released in obscurity on the Jennifer Hartman Records label in 1989.Spiderland culminates in the baleful "Good Morning, Captain", perhaps their most recognized track (it would later feature on the soundtrack to the Larry Clark film Kids, though not in the film itself).This two song record was actually recorded in 1989 and was originally intended to be released as a 12" single on Jennifer Hartman Records.Original copies of the Tweez LP included a flyer advertisement for the 12" as an insert.Members of Slint have since appeared in a number of bands.Ethan Buckler plays in King Kong (the original line up of Slint makes up King Kong on the 1989 7" "Movie Star").Also in 2005, Slint played a number of shows in the U.Chicago's Pitchfork Music Festival, the Showbox in Seattle, and the Henry Fonda Theatre in Hollywood).Rhoda", is the first and only EP released by the post rock band Slint.Go Records before it was sent to press and the master tapes were shelved.This page was last modified 12:16, 15 December 2007."Are you sure you want to block this user?BassInfluencesYeah, they've pretty much influenced every band since.Slint's first reunion show in Louisville, KY.To those of you who don't know who Slint is, please do your research before you start mailing this page asking them to play at Bulldog Cafe or some other shit.This is just a page documenting their first reunion show.This was never intended for sale."Are you sure you want to delete this comment?""Urgent Security Alert","Warning: You are submitting information to an outside site.This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).Id + " Text: " + targetLink.Slint was formed in the late eighties and has released two critically acclaimed albums that, to this day, are unrivaled in their intensity and beauty.It contains a new version of "rhoda" taken from the Tweez album and one previously unheard song which mirrors more the beauty of Spiderland entitled "glenn".Whether or not this EP acts as fitting homage signalling the end of Slint, or lights the way for a new era, is open to interpretation.This page represents Slint's last record released on vinyl and compact disc."Rhoda" on the EP, no more songs will be added to this page."Are you sure you want to delete this comment?"Greetings Slint,Respect To You !!!!!!!HI SLINTwelcome to our friendsyour sounds are very goods...OOOOOuuuuuuuuuuahles mecs je vous aime...Very good show in Paris.Hope others are on the way...Slint were amazing tonight!Looking forward to the show next week...Needs Rx on a Slint buzz.OTHERS NEW SONGS ON OUR PROFILE!!!THE Don Caballero here in Lexington August 3 at The Dame downtown two blocks from my place.So, since I had only mp3s, once your concert was over I redeemed myself by buying Spiderland and Slint EP cds and vinyls (even if I don't have any record player...This could be an attempt to steal your username and password.This is not a MySpace login page, please do not enter your MySpace login information (email address or password).Slint was a group of young people from Louisville, KY who stuck it out for a tiny period of time before splitting off into King Kong, Gastr Del Sol, Bastro, Tortoise, The Breeders, that Palace guy and The For Carnation.One of their albums was a major piece of shit; the other was so good, you'll shit yourself.Either way, human feces are involved.Unless you're one of them fancy reading animals, in which case "OOK!I've ever heard ("PAST WHERE THEY PAINT THE HOUSES!"Then they add in destructive household noises like utensils and tools being thrown around, and a band member talks about something or other on top of or slightly behind the instrumentation.Slint as a band of kids who really hadn't figured out what kind of music they wanted to make yet.The best thing I can say about these bits of forgettable music is that I can sympathize with the thought processes that brought them into the world.Do you know what a harmonic is?Wagner)

Four guys, nine parents?Admittedly it only hints at the genius

mind, like you say you do to listen to Honky by Melvins, it is a
rewarding listen."Spiderland" made this piece of shit.But it's definitely boring.Tweez was a welcomed new release.Tweez should yield results so similar to Big Black at that point in his producing career.The Albini connection had me curious enough, but this record needed to be listened to for clues to what this band was all about.Saab on a cold day in black and white!Nobody knows how Slint got good all of a sudden; it's one of the great unanswerable rock mysteries.Slint can actually play their instruments!Through the replacement of only one member (the bass player, who went on to form King Kong), the entire thinking mode of the band has changed.Although most of the vocals are still spoken word (except for one really poor excuse for singing that you kinda just have to deal with in life today, with terrorism), there is no confusion of intent or lack of purpose."GOOD" FUCKING "MORNING, CAPTAIN!"HAVE YOU FKCING HEARD THIS SONG???THINK IT WAS IN KIDS, A MOVIE THAT SUCKED!!!!EVERY time they play it!The lyrics are pretty "wild" and "out there" too."Breadcrumb Trail," the narrator takes a carnival fortune teller on a rollercoaster ride, she vomits and he leaves, liking her.The poorly singing narrator of "Washer" poorly sings his loved one to sleep as he prepares to leave.And finally, in the album's ultimate DEPRESSION LOT, the captain of a ship beats on the door of a house, crying that the storm has wrecked his boat and he is the only survivor.Nobody responds to his cries, and he wakes the next morning to see a child's face looking at him through the window.They recognize each other, and one of them (who?No, it's not the Lone Ranger Theme!Why do I bother asking you anything?!??Spiderland is basically Jandek but with some talent.It was boring and I get tired of people claiming it's an important movie.EP was recorded between Tweez and Spiderland.It doesn't really bother me, it just adds to the astmosphere."You'd might as well ask a member of Queen whether Freddie Mercury was gay or not.Saw the reformed Slint last weekend at ATP in Camber Sands and
