I've got a bates stamped number for every second of the summer you stole



SLACK is comprised of 2 of my favorite area musicians; Jenny Toomey of Tsunami, Geek, and, of course, Simple Machines Records and Dan Littleton of The Hated, Ida, Liquorice, and so on. This was a side project Jenny collaborated on with Dan, and another member of The Hated, in spare time between the bigger of their bands. Sadly, it is the only release as SLACK, but the content of this 5 track cassette is enough to keep you listening for awhile.

The tape was released as part of Simple Machines' Tool Cassette Series back in 1991 and was used as a way to copy cassettes from lesser-known acts on an as-needed basis. Orders would come in, tapes would be copied - very cost efficient.

Anyway, this is my favorite Jenny Toomey-related project, so...enjoy...

Big thanks to I Could Die Tomorrow and Jimmy Buttons for the postings, otherwise I wouldn't be giving this release to you...as it's pretty difficult to find online.
