For anyone unfamiliar with Slim’s own brand of dissonant and eerie rockabilly-twinged electronic pop… It’s not an easy listen, but much of the best moments in music haven’t been - yet, there’s something undeniably catchy and mesmerizing about the whole thing. As NOW magazine put it "It’s like someone gave Nick Cave a sampler and a pile of mescaline and locked him in a pitch-dark room for a week." His live show though, is as much a visual treat as anything I’ve ever come across – cathartic, raw and intense – watching Slim writhe around a stage is an incomparable experience. If you’re looking to be part of music history, this is not a show to be missed.

No Shame has the esteemed pleasure of co-presenting Slim’s CD Release Friday May 29th at the Horseshoe, along with friends wyrd visions, and a one night only covers set collaboration featuring a who's who of toronto's up and coming music scene including Huckleberry Friends, Actual Water, Creeping Nobodies
and $100

We still don’t really know what to do with Slim, but that’s part of the magic, isn’t it?
