The Slip done good

This is The Slip playing “Airplane Primitive” from Eisenhower, their debut record for Bar-None. It appears to have been made in a Rolling Stone studio of some sort. Dig the harmonica solo in the middle. And the fact that bass player Marc Friedman is actually playing guitar while he plays giant MIDI bass foot pedals.

The Slip are still touring strong (Eisenhower came out in November of last year), but this time around they’ve finally been getting some serious recognition. My Morning Jacket took them on tour, they played on Conan O’Brian, and had a song featured on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Considering we were seeing them in dive bars in Montreal a few years ago (Le Swimming, anyone?), it’s great to see more folks are catching into these dudes via baddass rockstars and the mass media. Enjoy.
