Slackstring
SLACKSTRING is the perfect moniker for the band; laid back, groovy music providing the soundtrack for summer barbecues and the sport of sunset watching. Comprised of four guys born and raised adjacent to the Pacific Ocean in Manhattan Beach, CA, the sound of SLACKSTRING was crafted as much by the beach lifestyle as it was by local musical influences from classic bands like The Doors and The Beach Boys to neighborhood punk pioneers Pennywise and Descendents.

Comprised of four guys born and raised adjacent to the Pacific Ocean in Manhattan Beach, CA, the sound of SLACKSTRING was crafted as much by the beach lifestyle as it was by local musical influences from classic bands like The Doors and The Beach Boys to neighborhood punk pioneers Pennywise and Descendents. Their sound has been described as Pure Feel-Good Music by L.A. newspaper The Daily Breeze, and a desert island CD by their legions of dedicated fans.
SLACKSTRING was born out of the long term musical relationship of Gavin Heaney and Eric Lyman (songwriters/guitarists/vocalists), and Matt Muir (drums) who have been performing together since their high school days. Add Brett Thomas on bass and the SLACKSTRING sound is complete.
Truly a self made band, SLACKSTRING has sold over 5,000 copies of their homemade self-titled CD (aka The Van Album) to fans worldwide, from Russia to Australia. SLACKSTRING emerged from backyard parties to headline venues from Hollywood's House of Blues to the Telus World Ski and Snowboarding Festival in Whistler, B.C. SLACKSTRING's dynamic live show continues to win new fans with every listen. Concerts have paired the band with artists including Jack Johnson, Donavon Frankenreiter, Slightly Stoopid, The Wailers, Common Sense and Grammy award winning Hawaiian guitarist John Cruz.
SLACKSTRING was recently the musical highlight in award winning mountain bike movie The Collective and its 'sequel' Roam. The film earned a nomination for best soundtrack at the X-Dance film festival in large part to the contribution of the bands three full length songs. Subsequently, SLACKSTRING's music has been in high demand for various extreme sports films from surfing to kiteboarding. SLACKSTRING will be featured on every episode of the PBS series "Road Trip Nation" in 2006/07.
The highly anticipated follow up album Lay Back is nearly complete, and will push the envelope of the band's growth by exhibiting a broad variety of textures and sounds. SLACKSTRING will also be featured on the SURF ROOTS VOL.2 benefit CD for the USA Surf Team.
Enjoy the music!

Sunday Jen
Slackstring Lyrics
Monday morn is taking this life away from me.
I find myself in the same place again.
Staring at the same four walls,
screen makes my eyeballs crawl,
and no man was made to live the life I'm in.
But I won't spend time on your giant clock,
my imagination just won't stop.
I just can't let this feeling go,
I guess I should just ask you so...
Sunday Jen, oh won't you let me come see you tomorrow,
though I know my time is six days away.
Sunday Jen, oh this I know, the future can't be borrowed,
but there's no one else who makes me feel this way.
No since forcing it, you just got to let it flow.
And I can't think to say I let it go.
After all this time, after all that we've been through,
just one less car 'on down the avenue
Abstract thoughts on a page, were never really my forte,
and too much logic and Savoir Faire for two souls in parallel.
Sunday Jen, oh won't you let me come see you tomorrow,
though I know my time is six days away.
Oh Sunday Jen, won't you let me come see you tomorrow,
but theres no one else that makes me feel this way
(solo)
Sunday Jen, oh wont you let me come see you tomorrow;
I know my time is six days away.
Sunday Jen, oh this I know, the future can't be borrowed,
but there's no one else who makes me feel this way.
Oh Sunday Jen, won't you let me come see you tomorrow?
Oh Sunday Jen, won't you let me come see you tomorrow?
