Slo Down started all the way back in 1983 / 84 as a small but enthusiastic group of young bloods, all eager to make some changes, both in our own, but also in the Big world surrounding us all.
As the time has passed there has been a great deal of replacement internally in the band, as people have gone in many different directions during the years.
I have been in deep water many times, poor, in doubt and despaired on the subject of my music, as the running of big band is not always easy, on the other side, it has always been a great pleasure to play this divine style of music and I wouldn't trade the life I have lived for anything...
As we have always been quite a mouthful for most arrangers in this small country, playing small, unpaid jobs has been a significant part of our life,
This has, of course, given a lot of good but not always well paid experience.
Besides from that we have recently recorded some of our songs in a really great studio, and we now have a master, ready to release on a single
and this is where we now stand in this year 2001.
Our music is stronger, and the musicians is heavier than ever before, so,
I hereby proudly present a world class act by the name of : SLO DOWN
