The Latest Union Happenings

[01-2012] Happy friggin' New Year! January is already flying by, thanks in part to great nights at the Hessian Lion, Dish N' Dat, and the Olive Bar. Plenty more on the way for the months ahead, so keep tabs on us here, Facebook or Twitter, and we'll see you all out there, dancing in those pretty, pretty lights...

[12-2011] Hope you all had a great 'Spanksgiving' -- no letting up, though, we still have a lot of heat to generate to get us through this winter, and no better way to do it than living it up with good friends, good drinks, good music. See you out there!

[10-2011] Pull the plug, eh? Well, sort of. We're doing a LOT of unplugged shows to close out 2011, and on into 2012 with both electric and acoustic appearances. Watch for events and contests on Facebook or the tweet-feed, and feel free to talk back to us about whatever's on your mind -- this ain't church, you know...

[10-2011] Triumphant returns! The rest of 2011 will see the Union going back to some of our MOST beloved old haunts -- Hair of the Dog (Middletown), Old Well Tavern (Simsbury/Tariffville), and Dish N' Dat (Canton), just to name a few! We're going to end the year strong, with a lot on the calendar, so if you're staying in the area for the holiday season, we better be seeing/drinking/singing a lot with you!

[08-2011] It's a record! Over five years of Unionization, and we're now booking more (and further) gigs than ever before. We owe it ALL to you, the loyal Union brothers and sisters, for promoting us, talking us up with owners and event booking agents, and of course -- showing up at all our gigs and having a great time along with us. Plugged in or unplugged, indoors or out, YOU are the reason we love doing this, and will keep doing it until they pry the instruments from our cold, dead hands!

[07-2011] Summer pushes the last of its power at us, and the Union responds with a full docket of both acoustic and full-tilt electric appearances all over the damned state. New places and old, new faces and...well, OLD...but we love you all just the same. Check out the gig calendar here, or keep tabs on our events on Facebook to get in on it!

[06-2011] "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." The hell with that, it's BOTH! We're sweating our way through the summer with the rest of you, but loving every minute of it. Keep coming out for drinks and dancing with us week in and week out, and we'll keep adding unplanned (and often unrehearsed) surprises to each set!

Speak Out!

Ever had a cover band let you down by never playing that one cut you really wanted to hear? (Yeah, us too.) Be an active part of the [S*U] setlist, by helping the band choose songs that you want. How? It's very simple...

  1. Become a fan of Slacker's Union on Facebook, and leave us a comment, upload some "from the show" pictures, or leave a discussion post about what song(s) you want played the next time you're at a show!
  2. Do that crazy Tweet-thing over on the Twitter page, and communicate with us that way -- as long as it's a short message!
  3. Email us directly and give us your thoughts about new tunes, new styles, or new spins on old favorites.

Rock? Hip-hop? Polka? It doesn't matter how you categorize it -- we ALWAYS listen to your song suggestions!

Mike Oken, Guitars Ken Wolf, Drums Keir Hansen, Vocals Phil Moriarty, Bass
