Slade are without doubt one of the most exciting bands to come out of Great Britain in the past 50 years. With their unique blend of perfect pop-rock’n’roll, outrageous flamboyance and pure fun, and no less than 23 Top 20 singles of which 6 were No-1 smash hits…plus 6 smash albums, they have become a firm favourite in the hearts of pop fans all over the world.
Their chart career has spanned 6 decades and their enduring songs “Far Far Away”, “Cum on Feel the Noize” and “Coz I Luv You” are still featured today in TV commercials for some of the Worlds biggest companies.
Their first hit the road in 1966, touring throughout Great Britain and Europe and becoming a regular concert attraction. Joining forces with the former Animals bass guitarist and Jimi Hendrix Experience manager, Chas Chandler, Slade achieved their first chart hit in May 1971 with the Bobby Marchan song “Get Down and Get with It” then, released in October of the same year “Coz I Luv You” was the bands first No-1 and a huge hit across Europe.
Throughout the seventies, they became one of Europe’s biggest bands, touring and recording continually and making regular trips to America, Japan and other parts of the world. Their catalogue of hits is synonymous with the era: – “Take Me Bak ‘Ome”, “Mama Weer All Crazee Now”, “Cum on Feel the Noize”, “Gudbye T’ Jane”, along with the many others provided a soundtrack to the Glam Generation and are still today, heavily featured on any retrospective of the time.
At the beginning of the eighties, they were invited to appear at the Reading Rock Festival, a massive annual event which attracted over 100,000 people. They literally stole the show, giving some of the world’s biggest rock bands a serious run for their money whilst kindling new interest from a whole new audience. As a result, the band signed a new record deal and unleashed the anthem “We’ll Bring the House Down”, which reached the Top 10 in the UK in January 1981. They were back!
Dave Hill’s Slade today is still one of the most exciting bands on the road, and their stage performance is a dynamic, powerful and exhilarating roller-coaster ride of pure unadulterated rock’n’roll.
