Slouch

There are few Slouch bands. One is DJ Slouch (born Ian Bradley, just outside of Washington D.C. in Rockville, Maryland) was heavily influenced by the grunge rock, jazz and classical music that surrounded him, he trained as a guitarist and pianist for the majority of his youth. During his high school years he began to explore new styles of music as well as the history of hip-hop and electronica. He finally took the opportunity to explore production while attending the Rhode Island School of Design.

Inspired by artists such as Bonobo, DJ Shadow, Prefuse 73 and Aphex Twin, DJ Krush, Dabrye and Ted James, he began to create his own sound, blending classical, cinematic, and progressive structures with the feel of gritty, abstract urban rhythms. His debut LP 'Viva' was released on Cozy Music in August of 2006, it is followed by his more pensive and focused album, 'Varistor' Spring 2007 on Suspicious Records. He currently resides in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Slouch from Long Beach was a band headed by Trey Pangborn of the Falling Idols, and Shortbus; Greg Odell of 8 Foot Tender; and John Flynt of Red Alert. That band was a rock band influenced by punk rock, and 70s guitar rock as evidenced by their cover of Hush by Deep Purple. Their album preceded the others shown here. Slouch from Long Beach originally released their album in 1993.
