Da Gigs of Da Slyme
Da Slyme have played about three dozen times over the course of more than two decades. This is the complete list, with links to pictures, posters and the contemporaneous history pages of this site. (Note: this section is under construction. We're trying to resolve inconsistencies, and we'll be adding more posters and pictures.)
We'll also be adding links to reminiscences when (if?) enough folks have contributed them. If you'd like to contribute a recollection of something crazy or otherwise that happened at or around a Slyme gig please send it along. We'll get back to you before publishing anything.
