Sunday 09.21.08: SLINGS / OLD WAR SHIRT / THE WORLD RECORD / PATRICK THOMAS
Posted by Samantha - filed in Events
Somewhere out there – tucked inside the daydreams of a whimsical and weird 14-year-old, maybe – exists the world of Slings: a world where puppy-eyed bull skulls skip down a floating xylophone and a giant red octopus slow dances with tree stumps (one for each arm) to a soaring melodica melody. In this world, everyone and everything – the bull skulls, the xylophone, the octopus, trees and melodica, plus a few canary-yellow baby chicks and also an old guitar and salt shaker – is a friend, a comrade, a partner in song and life and the jubilee you get when you combine them all together. The world of Slings, the music created by David Pope and Dustin Poulton, isn’t for hard hearts and cynics, but rather for lovers and dreamers and lonely lost cowboys. It’s more than music for a particular mood or even a season – it is, as anyone remotely involved with the band knows, a way of life.
