Julie Slick again

corinpills · #1 02-02-2010, 08:42 AM

Wow, I just watched a whole show of the Adrien Belew Power trio on Rockpalast (who knew that show was still on?) and was blown away by Julie and her brother. I know she's on these forums once in a while, so Julie, if you read this, as a fellow Pennsylvanian bass player (albeit one who now lives in Boston), let me say how much I love your playing.

I highly recommend checking this out; SUPER aggressive P bass tone (very reminiscent of John Wetton's Crimson sound with the raging Hiwatts) and a multitude of playing approaches; pick, fingers and thumb- all really punishing the strings. Very melodically enthusiastic- there's a real joy in her playing and, honestly, she gives Adrian a run for his money on the sonic weirdness front- all the while pushing him to new heights. What a killer rhythm section.

Anyway, it immediately inspired me to turn up the pre on my amp. Way up, actually.

Heck yeah - crank that preamp!

Thanks for the thread!

Definitely not feeling torn about the Julie not being a "well kept secret" any longer.

You could also check out other Belew Power Trio recordings like Side 4 Live , the download live in Japan set (Live Overseas on iTunes), or the new "e" album! The Rockpalast set is great, but there is a lot more.

Yes, Julie, I know you are there! Not being rude

BigOldHarry · #5 02-02-2010, 04:29 PM

Julie... Ah Julie... were I a younger man...

Hey Julie,

As I said, my bass playing is also fueled by scrapple and Yeunling and your playing made me really happy. I hear some Tony Levin in there, of course, but were you ever into John Wetton? What bass players influenced you?

Of course - Wetton's playing is what influenced me to get a P Bass! And Jack Bruce is what caused me to paint my first bass (a Squier Musicmaster) like his Fender VI, and Chris Squire is the reason I got Ric...

Julie is just terrific.

SBassman · #9 02-02-2010, 06:39 PM

Thread of the week.

Ok, when do we see the DVD?

Lobster11 · #10 02-22-2010, 10:20 AM

Julie's new web site is now up and running at http://julieslick.com. The streaming audio includes one cut from ABPT's "e," one from the recent Paper Cat studio session, and two new JS originals (!) from her in-progress solo project. (Can't wait to hear more from that!)

JimmyM · #11 02-22-2010, 10:38 AM

btw, the ONLY way to run an svt 4 pro is to crank that preamp. although julie is now using gk hybrids...same deal applies

my favorite "new" bass player. edgy, lots of chops that never get in the way of rocking out, thinks out of the box, looks great in black...what's not to like?

jeffwo · #12 02-22-2010, 10:56 AM

I saw the ABPT in northern Virginia a couple years ago and was blown away by her playing and tone. I'm so jealous of Bob Nyswonger and her for getting to play with my musical idol! Adrian Belew is the man!

Thanks guys!!! Glad you like the new stuff! Just worked on some more with Eric today...

jeffwo · #15 02-22-2010, 09:16 PM

You kick ass Julie! The new stuff is very cool.

Meddle · #16 02-23-2010, 06:14 AM

Whoa a pick player who is inspired by a bunch of old proggers? I didn't know such a thing existed. Thats cool!

Ekim · #17 03-22-2010, 06:41 PM

Wow, cool stuffis on MySpace and YouTube. Keep us posted!

julieslick · #18 04-03-2010, 10:08 AM

Well, since you asked to keep you posted... feel free to check out http://julieslick.com. I just launched the pre-order page for my solo debut, plus I embedded some more PAPER CAT videos from our recent NYC show...

SBassman · #19 04-03-2010, 05:10 PM

Excellent. Looking forward to it.

Julie - is the tune playing at your website off your solo CD?

jerry · #20 04-03-2010, 06:02 PM

Ordered and looking forward to it.
