Welcome, dear brothers and sisters, to the official online meeting house of the Slacker's Union, Connecticut's hardest working party band! Rely on this site to find out all you need to know about upcoming show dates and locations, special events, information about the members of the band, photos from the road and more, more, more! The Latest Union Happenings
[12-2009] Just coming through the door, like the last people to stumble in to a New Year's party, it's a return to Simsbury's Old Well Tavern on the 8th of January. We had a great time there just a few weeks ago, and are looking forward to see folks brave the winter again to enjoy a few drinks, a few laughs, and hour after hour of straight-up-no-chaser rock. You dig? [12-2009] The year is winding down, the temperature is dropping, but inside venues like the Old Well Tavern in Simsbury, things are bright and shiny -- come out and celebrate Keir's birthday a few days early, "nog" it up, and help the Union spread (southern?) comfort and joy to keep the holiday spirits (151 proof, perhaps) strong! [11-2009] We've cast the nets into 2010 already, squaring away our mighty, mighty regular spots at the beloved Hair of the Dog. Who says they have to have all the love, tough, eh? You frequent a bar ann find yourself saying, "This band just isn't doing it for me", or "Holy Superman, these people suck!". Fret not, pub crawler, just suggest Slacker's Union to the bar staff and owners, and we promise, after tenty or thirty mentions of our name (not all in a single conversation, o'course), we'll be there! Mention the website, let them see and hear for themselves...
[10-2009] Soon the frost is on the pumpkin, hella time for rock-and-funkin'! Join us at the Dog in Middletown on the 30th, join in the costume contests, win free drinks and other whatnots, and close out Rocktober in true S*U fashion! November will commence with a return to JT's up in the northeast corner of Connecticut...halloooooo, Stafford!
[09-2009] Summer is cooling off, and we're wrapping it up in style (or something that tries to be style) at Jay's annual Labor Day blast down in southeastern CT. After that, it's another bash at the Dog, and hints of a supporting appearance in the works...more details as we lock them down. Keep looking for us on MySpace and Twitter, to keep tabs on where we're playing, and where to bring the dozens of people that you KNOW want to rock their faces off with the Union! [08-2009] Well, voting has closed on the Grand Band Slam, so now we play the waiting game, and as Tom Petty once said, "the waiting is the hardest part". We're just friggin' pleased that we've been nominated for the past three years running -- that's some longevity in this business! Getting geared up with a handful of new tunes for the Manchester appearance at Time Out later this month, and still looking to crack doors on a few new venues this coming fall. Barkeeps -- trying to draw in a new crowd, some positive energy, and the right mix of rock to suit all your patrons? Superman's got the "S", but only we have the "S*U"!
The Upcoming Gig Calendar Pack the whole friggin' crew in the car, get rolling, and come see S·U when they bust a move into your town!
Make Your Voice Heard: Rock the Vote! 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...
Rock? Hip-hop? Polka? It doesn't matter what you label it -- we're listening!

[11-2009] Another jaunt to the far corner fo the state, to mount that raised stage at JT's in Stafford. Autumn is all around us, and you can't get deeper into New England-age than this town, so get rolling, we'll see you there. We've also added a night in late December for a new spot (well, new to the Union, that is, locals know it "well") at the
