Cheater Slicks • Skull Practitioners • Richard Papiercuts
About This Event
Cheater Slicks, the three-man garage-punk band formed in Boston in 1987, performs at Union Pool alongside Skull Practitioners and Richard Papiercuts. The band's pared-down lineup—Tom Shannon, Dave Shannon (guitar) and Dana Hatch—and its history, including a 1995 tour with Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, place the set within a long-running engagement with lo-fi rock practice.
