2016 has seen Slydigs electrify stadiums across the globe leaving audiences stunned, elated and craving for more from their ‘new found love’. Few bands return from a debut North American and European tour supporting rock legends The Who and claim standing ovations at every single show.
The Rock’N’Roll four piece haven’t just won over the audiences though, they have also enjoyed spectacular reviews and interviews with television, radio and print press such as: Rolling Stone, Classic Rock, Grazia, BBC, Rockpalast (German TV) and FOX Television... to name but a few.
From the heart of the Northwest of England, a region with a proud heritage of producing bands like The Beatles, The Stone Roses, Oasis, The Smiths, The Verve, and now Slydigs. A band who bring a fierce modern edge to a classic Rock’n’Roll sound, earning them an ever-growing fan-base both at home and abroad.
Co-founders of the band, Dean Fairhurst (Front Man) and Louis Menguy (Lead Guitarist) are driven by the need to “Express our own obsessions through music, like The Clash, The Rolling Stones,The Who and create our own legacy.”
Fresh from their tour with The Who in April/May 2016, Slydigs were invited once again to support Californian blues and soul outfit, Vintage Trouble for a second UK and European tour often sharing the stage with one of the world’s best guitarists, Nalle Colt, for a show stopping rendition of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Hey Joe’.
After a blistering set by Slydigs was featured on German TV’s Rockpalast whilst supporting Vintage Trouble, the boys were invited back to Europe to headline two of their own shows in Cologne and Berlin finishing up at The Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg.
Slydigs are making their name in the furthest corners of the earth, with their track ‘Light The Fuse’ featuring on the computer game ‘Rock Band 4’, whilst British Airways are featuring ‘Suburban Confinement’ - a documentary of the birth of Slydigs on their in-flight entertainment.
2017 is just around the corner and the band are currently in the studio recording new demos. With gigs and festivals on the horizon, the future is exceedingly bright for these saviours of Rock’ N’ Roll from the North.
