In 2003 Eric13, singer, guitarist and a rock community mainstay from Philly, recently transplanted to New York, met a brother-in-arms in towering bassist Del Cheetah. Hellbent on a rock n’ roll mission of the highest order, they began to write songs based on their experiences. The music reflects their identity, their influences, and their way of life - something every boy and girl could relate to. They self released their debut “Nikki” in the US and in Japan on Wizzard-in-Vinyl. The initial pressing disappeared almost instantly, so they soon followed it with a live album, “Pull The Trigger”.

The current line-up was finalized with the addition of drummer and New York band stalwart, J/Bomb. They were lean, mean and professional. Three US tours and two Japanese tours solidified the SEX SLAVES’ reputation as the toughest, baddest and hardest working band in NYC. Drawing on influences like the Misfits, Dead Boys, The Cult, Sex Pistols, Guns ‘N’ Roses, The Beatles, and one of the original music outlaws, Hank Williams, the SLAVES took their music to the masses, playing venues all across the country from CBGB’s to LA’s Viper Room and a memorable performance on opening night at Slamdance in Salt Lake City, Utah. They caught the attention of several American and Japanese publications, as well as rock icons Gene Simmons, C.C. DeVille, Davey Havoc and Lemmy Kilmister. They created their Radical debut album, “Bite Your Tongue”, with producer Ray Martin at Shelter Island studios in New York City. With songs like “We’re Goin’ Out Tonight”, “See You Naked”, and their hit “Thank God For Jack Daniel’s”, fans can instantly relate to the SEX SLAVE lifestyle. No one can be prepared for the all-out rock ‘n’ roll experience that is SEX SLAVES. Just see them live. Blood, sweat and booze pour out of the SLAVES at every show. Their killer songs keep the crowd involved; the connection they share with their fans is undeniable. They sing about girls, girls and more girls, with girls screaming their heads off in the front row for more. Albums Wasted Angel and Call Of The Wild followed in 2009 and 2012. A re=release of the Nikki album in 2010 was titled: The Early Recordings: Nikki.

I Was There
Sex Slaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One day when I get older
I'll find a love that I can hold on to, hold on to

And when the day comes I'll hold my hands up to the sky
And thank the stars, thank the stars

Heard it on the radio, it sounded so alive
I know 'cause I was there
In the room, I could feel
I know 'cause I was there
All around, it was real
I know 'cause I was there

After the first touch I knew that
I was never gonna let you go, let you go
Every day like the last one, time goes by a little faster
Don't you know where it goes

Heard it on the radio, it sounded so alive

I know 'cause I was there
In the room, I could feel
I know 'cause I was there
All around, it was real
I know 'cause I was there

I know that everyone wants to be true
What you give it comes back to you

Now and again when I think of the night
I looked in your eyes for the very first time
And I...

Heard it on the radio, you sounded so alive

I know 'cause I was there
In the room, I could feel
I know 'cause I was there
All around, it was real
I know 'cause I was there

In the room (in the room), I could feel (I could feel)
I know 'cause I was there




All around (all around), it was real (it was real)
I know 'cause I was there

To be able to look in the face of your sweet 6 year old knowing she completely loves and trust you, then to go and steal her innocence is heartless as they come!

@user-iw2bz9oi3x

That’s so devastating

@adonaiyah2196

@Marshall Davis I’m gonna assume this was your pathetic attempt at dark humor and move on.
