    Unrelated...SKA

    Hey! 

    We're supporting this KS campaign and I thought you guys might like the idea. It's beer of the month club minus the beer and plus a new 7" ska record each month! 

    Whatevski artists Sammy K (ex-Forthrights genius) and Jorge & The Landladies (Ex-Pietasters bassist and incredible songwriter) are doing a split as one of the 7".

    Check it:

    PS: We're working on Big Tunes diligently and will launch in the summer with a ridiculously awesome kick-off record from a ridiculously awesome band. And, there's an updated whatevski.org coming down the pike with the Hall of Champions. Progress! Thanks!

    Shipped!

    We just dropped off the last boxes for shipment! 

    Within a week or so, everyone should have their stuff. 

    Later in the month, we'll unveil the Wall of Fame. Everyone who's a supporter will get their name, and a link to a site/twitter/facebook of their choosing. 

    The Slackers thank you, and Whatevski thanks you for your support and patience.

    Tom

        We love this Slackers album. I'm wondering where the Wall of Fame is? Is that a Slackers website element, or Whatevski?

        Thank you!
        Gabe and Monica
