Ahoy, sifters and tootlers! theSlacks are pushing the boat out on Taranaki Anniversary Weekend. be great to see you there. all for a great cause, Horses Helping Humans. Tix: $30.

theSlacks Presents is back! We love to support live and local music (and letting other artists do the heavy lifting) and this series of gigs is all about supporting a fantastic local recording studio/jam space/hang out. It's called BUZZY WORLD and we need it. Taranaki loves music.

It's FREE ENTRY thanks to Ron at Mike's Bistro & Taproom, a great and longtime supporter of live music.

The run-sheet for the night (as they say in the biz) is hazy and slightly out of focus, in other words, exactly as we fashioned it.

But TOBY ALVA is the star of the night, be in no doubt. A stone cold talent. You can connect with him here: @t0by.alva

there'll be Slacks too, and we're going to mix it up for 2026. You'll likely get solo-slacks, duo-slacks, three-oh-slacks in a chaotic but entertaining evening.

MEMBERS ONLY. we're hitting the Club again. the NP Club is a Slack's dream - easy entry and egress, a sprawling wonderland of different vibes under one roof, good food, great times.
there will be a Slacks-theme menu available, of course (we recommend the Yeah-Nachos).

this is MEMBERS ONLY but it's like $15 to join the NP Club for a year so just do yourself a favour and become a member. Download their app and sign up online then come to the gig!

"Where are you going my beautiful friend?" who said that?

Nooks and Crannies! theSlacks love getting out of the city and into the hills and valleys of our beautiful country. Continuous pestering by locals has led us to believe that we could probably pull off a gig over that way. Ticket link below.

We're finally getting back to The 09, The Harbour City, Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland with our first appearance at Cassette 9 since the Big Aroha Tour of '16. Lawks a Lordy that's nigh on 8 years ago! But we're back, fresher than ever with a brand new album in tow and with support from the fabulous Rusty String Republic. You are being mapped. How do you feel? Goto 10 Ticket link below.

theSlacks are kicking off and cutting loose. We're going to throw the tour van into cruise control but first we're going to peel out of the driveway and this gig is the metaphorical peel out! 8Ball Pool & Darts. And it is our very special pleasure to be able to share the stage with local legends Courtenay & The Unholy Reverie who are riding hot with their single "Mercy" and lots more to come. Ticket link below.

theSlacks are releasing their latest album INFORMATION APE and to kick things off, we're starting the music month tour at The MOST FM Lounge in New Plymouth. We'll be chatting a bit about the album and playing the new songs. Tickets are limited. Ticket link below.

We are set to release our latest single - Love To Go - and we are kicking it all off at the Whanganui Musicians Club.

Open Mic starts at 7pm. Door Sales only. $15 General Admission ($10 for Club Members).

The game was rained off last time but this time, we're drawing hieroglyphs with sunscreen (250+), doing reverse rain dances and even sacrificing some kale and kombucha to the weather Gods. We are so confident that the sun will shine all day, we didn't even bother with a wet-weather venue! Fingers Crossed! With very special guest Liana Hart, tickets are available on eventfinda (link below). Churs, one and all!

It promises to be a sun-drenched afternoon, in beautiful Little Church Bay. We'll welcome summer with a kiss on both cheeks and a waiata or two, with support from Evan Rhys + Stereo Streets. We also have an alternative venue in case of inclement weather.

Venue: Little Church Bay. BYO.

Wet Weather Venue: 8 Ball Pool & Darts (this is a licensed venue and is NOT BYO).

START: 3.30pm. Evan Rhys & Stereo Streets will open. Slacks perform around 5.00pm.

Where once there were upright 1Up arcade cabinets, there are now acres of green cushion. A stage and bar now grace the space that once was Spaceworld - a place of flashing lights, 8-bit soundscapes and magic, all for the low, low price of 20c. Out of respect and as an homage, Let's party!!
