One of the most notable bands to emerge out of the New York City ska revival scene of the 1990s, the Slackers smashed stereotypes of "Ska" as happy, uptempo, and shallow music, playing with an aggressive edge and exploring themes from the personal to the political. Since 1997, the band has been doing around 110 shows a year. This includes some 20 major North American tours, 14 European tours, 3 Japanese tours and 2 Brazilian tours. They have played in 42 different US states, 6 Canadian provinces, 22 European countries, 5 Latin American nations, Turkey, Japan, and South Korea. Slackers are a phenomenon. A worldwide phenomenon. An underground band with a cult following.
