DJ JULIE SLATER ROCKS AS AN INDY PERFORMER!

Julie Slater at Hotel Cafe June 2013

Earlier this month, Julie Slater rocked the house at  my new favorite place...Hotel Cafe.  She has an easiness with the audience which is no surprise since Julie is a DJ!  Imagine if Aimee Mann had a younger, hipper sister (from another mister).  LOL!  Some songs were originals with a few covers in the mix.  One was a stripped down version of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.  Those of us who know Julie, know she loves Tom Petty.  So it is no surprise she covered American Girl.  For those that missed the show, catch her next month performing at Pershing Square.

Julie Slater is an afternoon DJ at 100.3 the Sound (www.thesoundla.com) in LA.  On Saturday nights, she also hosts a two-hour specialty show Out on a Limb at 88.5 KCSN (www.outonalimbmusic.com or www.kcsn.org).  While living in NYC, Julie Slater was the Midday DJ following Howard Stern on 92.3 KROCK NYC for ten plus years.  Also, she was in the band Plankton, but now performs as a solo artist (with a backup band).  She's obsessed with beards, music like Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Band of Horses, Jim James, Ray Lamontagne, and PJ Harvey.

Julie's bandmates are: Nick Tracz on bass (currently in Sandbox, formerly of Wires in the Walls, also works at the Sound) and Jimmy Harrison on mandolin/acoustic guitar (formerly of West Coast Grand).
Her next show is Thursday July 11th at Pershing Square 8pm. And its Free!
