The Slugs

about

There is more than one band with the name The Slugs: 1) North London two piece slime-rockers !! 2) The Slugs are a four-piece Chicago-area band that has played guitar-led pop music in the vein of Big Star and Cheap Trick since 1983. The band has featured brothers Gregg and Dag Juhlin, in addition to other members. 3) Punk band from NYC in the late 70s, short lived. Released two 7"'s "Problem Child" / "Suspicion" (Whiplash, 1979) and "I'm In Love With You (Again)" / "Never Shoulda Told You" (Whiplash, 1980) 4)This band was the brainchild of Jimmy Bower, Kirk Windstein, and Todd Strange to “Tune low and play slow”. Formed out of the ashes of SHELL SHOCK, AFTERSHOCK and WREQUIEM, vocalist/guitarist Kirk Windstein and drummer Jimmy Bower would have many drunken nights talking about their love of CARNIVORE, THE MELVINS, TROUBLE and THE OBSSESSED and how they wanted to have a band that played like that. The New Orleans scene wasn’t ready for what hit them when these two put their heads together. It was the antithesis of what was happening at the time in New Orleans . A lot of bands were mimicking the local heroes EXHORDER and GRAVEYARD RODEO, but Kirk and Jimmy went the other way and played their tunes very slow and were drenched with feedback. The band also featured Kevin Noonan (CROWBAR/KILLJOY) on guitar for the first few gigs before being replaced by “Lurch”, who played with them when they did a cover of “Predator” by CARNIVORE and “No Quarter” by ZEPPELIN at Storyville Ja
