The Slew: Or How To Save A Music Work?

Canadian turtablist-master Kid Koala teamed up with ex-members of the austrialian hardrock band Wolfmother and gives birth to The Slew.

Originaly, The Slew is the project of a Seattle-based multi-instrumentist named Jack Slew. In the early 70′s, this woodworker, also a big fan horse race and gambler, named his psyche project after the “Seattle Slew”, an american horse race that remains the only horse to win the Triple Crown while undefeated.

Anyway, in 2005, director Jay Rowlands conviced the guy to make a documentary out of his life. Jack even gave him master-tapes of the band. At that point, Jay enlisted the help his cousin Dylan Frombach aka Dynomite D, and his friend Kid Koala, to remix the material he was given, which would make the soundtrack of his documentary. Unfortunately for the team, Jack Slew pulls out his participation and the film is aborted. But the music work remains, and kid Koala isn’t planning trashing it away. He formed “The Slew” and just put out “100%”, the 1st album inspired from what’s probably gonna be the first and last trace of solitary Jack Slew.
