April 15, 2008

Video footage of SLIP KID, a THE WHO tribute band featuring EXTREME vocalist Gary Cherone (VAN HALEN, EXTREME) and his brother Mark Cherone (guitar, vocals),performing the song "The Real Me" on December 23, 2007 at the Hard Rock Caf in Boston, Massachusetts can be viewed below.

As previously reported, SLIP KIDwill play at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts on Friday, April 25.

According to the group's official bio, SLIP KID was born from a common bond that has influenced brothers Cherone 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 Keith Moon handled by Dana Spellman on drums. Rounding out the sound on keyboards and programming is Jeff Calder.

BIG, RACER X) and bassist Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG, DAVID LEE ROTH, TALAS).
