 Our old website was accidentally deleted. This "new" one will eventually contain all of our old content.  UPDATE: 01-30-12The Stashtones got together last night at Tarik Solongi's "Prime Time Studios" in Mount Vernon, NY for our only rehearsal before we return to the stage this Tuesday. We went through the band's entire back catalogue of songs and have picked out the first batch of tunes for this incarnation of the band to play live. With the exception of two tunes from '04 and '05, and one straight up classic cover to be sung by Felix, the rest of the set will consist of songs from the band's early years. It's our return to a stage we have a lot of history on so we've decided to go totally retro, even bringing back tunes some of us haven't played since 1998. The new incarnation of the band sounds great and we also started laying the foundations for a whole batch of new tunes we'll be playing and recording down the road. And just to make it clear, we will not be performing any ECW tunes. (Click on flyer to the right to view full size.) 01-16-12 It doesn't seem like The Slashtones will be performing any of our ECW Wrestling songs on January 31st. The band has a history with promoter Jerry Adams and 214 Sullivan Street, now called "Sullivan Hall", once known as "The Lion's Den". We played there for Jerry before we got involved with wrestling, and this being our first show there since 1996 we're busting out a big chunk of our pre-ECW (1993-1997) tunes for this occasion. Keep in mind this can all change on Sunday, January 29th when we get together for our one and only rehearsal before the gig. So tune in here on the Monday before the show for the final update on what we will and won't be playing.  11-29-10The SLASHTONES return to the stage on Tuesday, January 31st, 2012. The band will be performing a short set for Rock N' Roll impresario Jerry Adams' Birthday Bash at Sullivan Hall located at 214 Sullivan Street in NYC. This will be The Slashtones' first show since performing at Irving Plaza in 2006, but this will also be the first live appearance of this version of the band featuring Richie Scarlet on guitar and Felix Hanemann on bass. (Felix played keyboards at that last Irving Plaza show.) Maintaining their usual spots are Arno Hecht on saxophone, Steve "Budgie" Werner on drums and Harry Slash on vocals. The Slashtones played for Jerry Adams a few times between '95 and '96 at 214 Sullivan Street when the venue was called "The Lion's Den". We had some really good shows on that stage back then, and some really bad ones too. In honor of our return to that address we might be playing a few of our older tunes (pre-ECW), some of the new stuff (post ECW) and maybe do an ECW tune or two, or maybe not. We won't really know what we're playing that night until our one and only rehearsal a few weeks before the gig so good or bad, this appearance will be historic. (Wow, that last line was pompous.) Also appearing that night is Reckless Fortune. They might play one of their ECW tunes, or maybe not. This will be the first time the two bands have played on the same bill since 1997.
