Our Aftershock Spotlight Band is The Pink Slips

August 27, 2015

We are excited to announce The Pink Slips as our Aftershock Spotlight Band today. Today our music scene contains a never ending list of genres or subgenres but what we really are missing is a rekindling of our love for punk rock and synth. Imagine a young band that brings to life your love of 90’s synth pop music and wraps it deliciously in young spirited punk rock. No need to dream about it, because Pink Slips is the answer to your wishes. The LA based punk rock band, Pink Slips is fronted by 18 year old Grace McKagan. Yes, the name might sound familiar, she is the daughter of Duff McKagan (GUNS N’ ROSES/VELVET REVOLVER/WALKING PAPERS).

Today is Grace McKagan’s Birthday so make sure to head on over and wish her a very Happy Birthday and get ready for them at this year’s Aftershock Festival. They have released their infectiously catchy 6 song EP, Say L’or Venus which is available on iTunes here. Grace’s vocals remind me of a blend of Debbie Harry, Kim Wilde and modern day Taylor Momsen. She brings out such a fun flirty side to her music. It is charismatic, edgy and invigorating.
