SLAVES ANNOUNCE A VERY SPECIAL SHOW AT TUNBRIDGE WELLS FORUM 20TH JULY, CELEBRATING THE 5 YEARS OF ‘SUGAR COATED BITTER TRUTH’!
THE SHOW WILL BE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BBC MUSIC INTRODUCING IN KENT – SIGN UP FOR TICKETS HERE
To mark the 5 year anniversary of their self-released debut mini-album, Kentish Punk provocateurs Slaves will be doing a very special hometown gig at the Tunbridge Wells Forum, where they’ll be playing ‘Sugar Coated Bitter Truth’ in full!
Of the event, guitarist, Laurie Vincent said “It’s been 5 years since we released our first body of music, ‘Sugar Coated Bitter Truth.’ Recorded in the Tunbridge Wells Forum in 2012, it kicked off our career and started us getting played on the radio, leading to our first ever festival slot at Reading and Leeds. To celebrate we return to the scene of the crime for a one off gig!”
Five years on the mini-album still fizzles with the raw energy of a young band giving it everything they’ve got. Early bangers like ‘Girl Fight’, ‘Where’s your Car Debbie’ and ‘White Knuckle Ride’ all regularly feature in the bands frantic live sets to this day.
Isaac Holman (vocals, drums) and Laurie Vincent (guitar, vocals) have been creating primal rock noise as Slaves since 2012, since then they’ve released two top ten albums and performed all over the world including at legendary festivals such as SXSW, Reading & Leeds andGlastonbury.
