THE SLANTS LIVE AT THE RECORD EXCHANGE WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4 (6PM)

November 3, 2015 - Live Shows , Live@RX , The Record Exchange Blog - by - No Comments

The Slants 2015 Press PhotoThe Record Exchange is excited to welcome back The Slants for a live performance at 6pm Wednesday, Nov. 4. The Slants are performing at the WavePop House later that evening. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages.

ABOUT THE SLANTS

Portland’s The Slants are the first and only all-Asian American dance rock band in the world. They offer up catchy dance beats, strong hooks, and a bombastic live show that is “not to be missed” (The Westword). The Willamette Week says “While the band may well be best experienced live, Slants releases always promise a few blistering, note-perfect singles.” The music is the perfect combination of ’80-driven synth pop with hard-hitting indie, floor-filling beats, which fans affectionately dub as “Chinatown Dance Rock.”

They’ve been featured on Conan O’Brien, BBC, NPR, NBC, VICE, Huffington Post, MTV and over 1,500 radio stations, TV shows, magazines and websites across 82 countries.

Eighteen international tours, including appearances in 46 of 50 U.S. states, have led to headlining showcases at major festivals such as SXSW, MusicfestNW, San Diego Comic-Con and Dragon Con. The band has also provided support for The Decemberists, Mindless Self Indulgence, Girl Talk, Apl.De.Ap (of Black Eyed Peas), Blind Pilot and Shonen Knife. In 2011, The Slants worked with the Department of Defense for a series of shows at U.S. and NATO bases in Eastern Europe, dubbed “Operation Gratitude.”

Every one of their last seven music videos have gone viral, gaining tens of thousands of views within days. Their hit single, “You Make Me Alive,” has nearly 350,000 views.

Two recent music videos feature martial arts choreography by Sammo Hung (The Matrix, Ip Man, and Enter the Dragon) and feature international stars Daniel Wu and Shu Qi.

They’ve won “Album of the Year” and “Editor’s Choice” from dozens of magazines, including Willamette Week, LA Weekly, Shojo Beat, Village Voice, City Beat and Rockwired.

Whether rocking music halls, anime conventions, maximum-security prisons, colleges or army bases, it’s clear that The Slants’ infectious brand of “so damn good” music will leave you wanting more” (MRU Magazine).
