Vancouver rapcore sensa-
tion, Slick 60, recently per-
formed at the ribbon-cutting
ceremony at Rotary Skate
park. After laying down an
amazing live set, lead vocalist
Derek was kind enough to
grant Over the Edge a brief
interview.

Slick 60 has been in exis-
tence for about five years, if
you are willing to ignore the
fact that the band changed
bass players about four years
ago. During that time, they
released an EP, “Pay to Play”
in 1998, as well as a full length
release, “Burden of Silence,” in
March of 2002. In addition, the
band has been releasing
tracks over the ever-popular
MP3.com, in a quite success-

ful effort to bring their sound to
the world in general. The band
also has a music video for
“Path of Ghosts” coming out in
the near future, which is to be
put together be Loaded Gun
Productions. They say that it is
to be filmed on a yacht, with
lots of skateboarding, so keep
an eye out for that.

When asked his opinion of
the music scene in Prince
George, Derek said that it was
amazing. “It’s just got the
crowd, the kids are really into
it” His opinion on the new
skate park? “Il think this is
exactly what this city needed.”
So, if you did not manage to
see Slick 60 this time around,
be sure to check them out the
next time they are here.

young rockers speak out on what it’s like to be a girl

sneaky enough to
get backstage and

get their opinions on
everything from groupies to
their stage moves.

Over The Edge: So how
do you guys like to play for
younger crowds?

Live on Release: It’s real-
ly cool, | think people can
relate better to us than a
bunch of 40-year-olds.

OTE: You guys have some
funky stage moves, how do
you come up with them?

LoR: It’s mostly trial and
error, we do it at shows, see
if it works, sometimes it
doesn’t. We just rock out to
the best of our ability. Just
don’t stand there is the only
rule.

OTE: What are your influ-
ences?

David Bowie, we do a cover
of Suffragette City on our
new album.

OTE: New album?

LoR: It’s our baby, we’re
proud mamas. We worked
really hard, the writing is a
lot better, were older and
more mature.

OTE: When’s it coming
out? Any details? :

LoR: Not until the New
Year, nothing is finalized
yet.

OTE: You guys ever get

any groupies? Male
groupies?
LoR: Sometimes, in

Edmonton we had about
100 guys trying to follow us.
We don’t take them back-

respect.

We have to rock like
we have a cock, we
can’t act like a retard
or a slut, we have to
work hard, we don’t
want to self destruct
our careers over some
guy or rumor.

OTE: Ever get guys
screaming at you to take off
your clothes?

LoR: We deal with that
shit and creepy men, it hap-
pened a lot at Edgefest. We
just tell them to take off their
pants, or tell them that
they’ve got small cocks.

OTE: What do you do in
your spare time?

LoR: We just watch TV,
and absorb the trash.

OTE: No Satan worship or
demon summoning?

LOR: We take no responsi-
bility.

And that about sums it up.
