Hard rock Boston welcomes back local boys SLIP KID, the tribute to The WHO. Gary Cherone of Extreme fronts the band and the cause tonight for Autism Speaks as we host a Rock & Roll Benefit for Autism Awareness.
SLIP KID , is not just another WHO tribute/cover band, nor does it try to impersonate them. Rather It is a truly inspired celebration of the music and live performance of THE WHO, That captures the raw emotional energy of the band. And WHO better to do it?
The brain child of the brothers Cherone, with Markus on guitar and Gary singing lead, SLIP KID was born from a common bond that has influenced them from the very beginning and continues to inspire today. The band consists of veterans of the Boston music scene with Gary's former bandmate, singer, songwriter Paul Mangone on bass, and the manic antics of Moon handled by Dana Spellman on drums. Rounding out the sound ..boards and programming Jeff Calder.
Whether your a casual or hard-core fan, you will hear everything from the early eclectic pop to the familiar anthems of a g-g-g-generation, with a few odds and sods in-between.
There will be a slient auction throughout the evening with proceeds to benefit Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. We are proud of what we've been able to accomplish and look forward to continued successes in the years ahead. www.autismspeaks.org/index
