The Slack began slowly in 2004 as more of an idea than a band. In February 2007, the idea became reality when five of Dallas, Texas' most talented and overworked musicians came together to create a new sound. A united sound, bigger and more inventive than any they had created before.

Evolving around the songwriting of guitarist/vocalist (and three-time Dallas Observer Musician Of The Year) Chris Holt, and utilizing the virtuoso capabilities of each member, The Slack produces a sonic experience that will move you to scream with joy just as quickly as it will bring you to your introspective knees - all in the span of a 4 minute song.

Collectively making their mark on the Texas and national scene over the last 10 years with bands such as Sorta, Olospo, Kristy Krueger, Johnny Lloyd Rollins, and others, members of The Slack have made an indelible impression on the music community.

Band members include guitarist/vocalist Eric Neal, drummer Tom Bridwell, keyboardist Steve Luthye, and bassist David DeShazo.
