Second Slint show added!

Metro has just announced they've added a second night of Slint live...Thursday, March 24 at 9pm. Tickets are available NOW. The previously scheduled show on the 25th sold out almost instantly, so if you missed out before, don't delay. Also, do yourself a favor and stop by the Metro box office or next door at Hi Fi Records to avoid the TicketBastard service charges. "Slint Who?" you say??? Here's a brief history of the band courtesy of the good people at Metro: In 1987, Slint recorded their debut album, "Tweez", with Steve Albini behind the board in Chicago and released it on the short-lived and enigmatic Jennifer Hartman Records and Tapes label. At this time, Ethan Buckler departed and was replaced on bass by Todd Brashear. 1989 saw the recording of their untitled EP, engineered by Steve Albini, mixed by Brian Paulson, and released by Touch and Go Records. In 1990, Slint recorded the landmark "Spiderland" album in Chicago with Brian Paulson both engineering and mixing. This release, in particular, became an independent music touchstone, loved and admired by hundreds of thousands of fans and emulated by a generation of musicans.The following year, the year in which "Spiderland" was issued by Touch and Go, Slint broke up. For almost fourteen years, the members have not performed together as Slint. Now, for a very short time, they do so again...
