This band was horrible at the Roadhouse! I don\'t think the singer sang a single correct note, the guitar player couldn\'t be heard and had no stage presence, and the drummer was far too loud and mad quite a few noticible mistakes. The only talented person in the band was Frankie, but he\'s ruining his reputation by being in such a talentless band. As a choir director, I know music, and Slipstream did not play music.

I was gonna check em out at Liquidz, so my wife called down there to ask about drink specials while Slipstream is there, and the guy said he cancelled on em cause he had too many complaints about them. Are they really that bad?

I wasn\'t impressed by this band @ Rt. 66. Maybe it was nerves or something, but it overall wasn\'t very good.

I\'ve always been impressed by Frank\'s talent. This band was fair, but it was obvious that Frank\'s talent was far too advanced for this college-kid garage band. If you want to hear a good group of kids, check out Swagger!

I totally agree. This is one band I NEVER want to hear again. I think my ears might still be bleeding from listening to them.

I kinda liked them. The singer wasn\'t the greatest and sang a lot of songs wrong, but I liked the songs they played.

Hey for their first live show, I think these guys did pretty good. Could they use more practice? Maybe, but you gotta give it to them, at least they are getting out there and trying!
I remember many of the top bands to come out of Amarillo and some of their early shows. Some of these guys made Slipstream look good. After time, they got their stuff together and were the most wanted bands in town.
I want to say that I was impressed with these guys. They got out there and played, and didn't stop and start again and again because of the problems, like some of the other bands out there. They have a great attitude about it and have been working hard to get people to the show!

I look forward to seeing them in the future and see what becomes of them!

These guys are not as bad some of these comments are saying. If you don\'t like them, then why the hell were you there. I don\'t think you were forced to stay and listen.

I left about 15 minutes into their set on that Friday night. I think if they got a new singer they\'d be alright, but that Eric guy really sux!

Their next gig was supposed to be at Liquidz, but the guy is going to cancel on them because he had too many people calling in and complaining about them playing there. Liquidz doesn\'t want to lose any business so they\'re canceling on them.

Hey there...well I have personal issues w/ the drummer (he\'s my ex b/f), but I\'ve heard the band practice, and they sounded great. Kevin is an amazing drummer, apparently everyone agress that Frank is very talented, Mike is a freakin amazing player, and though I didn\'t hear much of the singer, he\'s talented as well. I just heard them practice once, and they were great, so I can only imagine how awesome they were at the Roadhouse. You people should really quit being so mean to them, and if you didn\'t like what you heard, then fine, but don\'t try to persuade other people to dislike them based on your opinion. Personally I hate the drummer and greatly dislike Mike the guitar player...I think they\'re both jerks!!!! They are extremely talented none-the-less though, so quit hating on them because you lack the talent and passion that these guys have when it comes to music!!

Whatever. Your probably still his girlfriend which is why your promoting them. That\'s prolly a bunch of bs bout you hating them. At least you admit not being at the Roadhouse, so you don\'t know how bad they were that Friday night. They seriously need a new singer! He sang most of the songs wrong, and the drummer, your boyfriend, made

LOL! That\'s not DJ Element, because he does his radio show every night from 6-10 pm, except on Saturdays, when its from 6-11 pm. He couldn\'t have even been at their show, so you know that comment\'s fake. I think it\'s funny that someone tried to act like him. As far as this band goes, I\'m going to liquidz on friday to find out exactly how good or bad they are for myself. Every band in the world has people that dislike them.

See, if some girl that hates them is promoting them, you know they\'re good. Oh and to the guy that says she still his girl, well she\'s not. I heard they really hate each other or something, but these guys are pimps man, they rock. I heard them both nights they played, and they were good the first night, but they really kicked ass the

I highly doubt you hate these guys personally, but I could understand you hating the band. I don\'t know about everyone else, but I honestly was at the rt. 66 roadhouse when they played a few weeks ago, and I wasn\'t impressed at all. Some lady was saying how many years each of them had been playing there instruments and if they each have

This is SlipStream just so everyone knows our next show is at the Route 66 Roadhouse Friday and Saturday November 23rd and 24th. We are currently working on originals but no promises as to if they will be ready for unvieling at this show. Please come out and listen. I know several people on this website have tried to give us a bad wrap, but our only request is that you wait and see us for yourself before passing judgement. Let us know what you think and how we could improve. We are always open to constructive criticism. Thank you very much, and hopefully we\'ll see you at the show! Rock on!

Sincerely,

SlipStream

You could give the Roadhouse a call some evening and ask them. Could be the band hasn't been here to see the comments in a few days or so. Usually the Roadhouse is 21 & up but they could answer the question for you if they are letting minors in that night.

Thanks! I really wish slipstream would\'ve answered the question though. They should be on here quite often to keep up with their fans. I know they aren\'t so famous that they have to man fans to keep up with. Anyway, if I can, I\'m gonna check them out this weekend and see what they\'re all about.

The Forum says they cancelled tonight. I wanted to go see them too. Think I\'ll go check out the band at Austins.

Too bad they had to cancel. With all this hype, I\'d bet the place would have been packed just to chekc them out.

Yeah, I didn\'t post that. I did hear them practice once, but I told Kevin that they needed their old singer back because Eric is hurting their band. Though I would not have a problem w/ the band failing considering he chose that band over his daughters that are on the way. Maybe they\'ve gotten better...for their sake i hope so. Oh y

For those of you who are wondering why it is that we did not play at the Roadhouse this weekend is because due to things that have come up in our singers life he is no longer a member of SlipStream. We are working hard to get back out and rock you guys once again. We are currently looking for a lead vocalist, and are also working on originals for those of you interested. Thanks for the support guys. PEACE!!!

Sincerely,

SlipStream

well from what i gather, frank (bassist) has left the band and joined some country band casey and the berries or something like that.....Frank\'s a heck of a bassist but i have seen him in too many bands to keep straight......but i gather he is going to settle down with a country band....Good luck Frank!

Well here is the 411 on SlipStream. SlipStream is on longer in existance. Eric (vocals) and Mike (guitar) both quit for personal reasons. Now before all the mud gets slung, there are no harsh or bitter feelings. Everyone left on good terms, and we are definately bro\'s for life. That leaves the San Miguel tandum duo of Frank and Kevin. We are in works with some exciting new stuff, but to keep from blowing anything, I\'m not quite at liberty to dicuss yet, but I promise that you have not seen the last of us. Regarding the country gig, it is true that Frank has been an active member of Casey Berry and the Live Texas Mesquito\'s for some time now. That has no part to do with the success or failure of SlipStream just so everyone knows. To Casey Berry and the LTM\'s. Congrats on the new album, and good luck with all that is to be had from that. That is all on my front thank you very much all the Amarillo music scene faithful. You are the people we do this for, so that hopefully you all can share our passion for music. We love you all very much! Until next time rock on! I promise, see you soon!
