The New, New Julie Slick Thread

[Lobster11]

thanks a lot! i already do the round edge thing because of bobby vega does she use those for the slick six and the normal basses?

Yes, as far as I know.

I other news, Julie evidently has now set up shop in Seattle and is open for business:

Gettin' her Tina on!

Here's a playlist of ten songs from this "Start Making Sense" show, including the two I posted above:

I love seeing Julie get her Tina on!

I know that I am rather late to the party but have recently become quite smitten by her musicality. Absolutely amazing.

Julie is playing a live solo set at 5:00 pm TODAY as part of the "Uncancelled Music Festival." Here's her Instagram announcement:



... which contains text from the official web site with information about how to purchase "tickets," etc.

Here's the actual site:

Stageit | A front row seat to a backstage experience.™

Hope to see you there!

Pretty sure your post above led to my vast enjoyment of seeing Julie and Adrian play in Chicago last night.

Guy next to me ( whom apparently is an author ) turned out to be a friend of AB’s and I got to meet the man briefly after the show.

Many thanks for that tip. Amazing show of course. Julie makes virtuosity look so easy! And in all these years I don’t think I ever saw Adrian play acoustic. From his new album. No slouch either

Thanks for posting -- that's great to hear!

I'm going to see them in a couple of weeks -- hopefully, twice.

Julie now has a Kickstarter campaign to finance final mixing, mastering, and manufacturing of their fifth album, Mount Si.

Given that each of the previous Echotest albums has been better than the previous one, I'm pretty excited about this one.

Got to see the Power Trio in Ashland, VA last night. Small theater with a little 10-seat balcony on the wall, stage right, where my group had seats. The view and sound were good from there but.... It turns out that the doorway leading to the stairs to the balcony was right next to Julie, with only an average-width hallway between the door and the edge of the stage. Security had no complaints about me just standing there in the doorway so that's where I spent most of the show (staring at her right hand). Also, from that vantage point I could hear her Aggie stage rig rather than the PA, so I was able to soak in that gnarly/nasty growl that I love so much about her tone. Of course I couldn't hear Adrian as well from there, but a fan-boy's gotta do what a fan-boy's gotta do. Got to hang with her for about 15 minutes after the gig (and hit her up for a couple of picks), and also chatted briefly with Adrian and the drummer for a bit.

Now please excuse me while I go pile up my basses and gear in the back yard and have a bonfire.
