Biography

Hailing from the Detroit metro area, the trio known collectively as Slot (Sue Lott -- bass/vocals, Eddie Alterman -- drums, Billy Rivkin -- guitar) first came together in the winter of 1991. Soon after, Slot began their recording career with a single for the Sympathy for the Record Industry record company, as well as a full-length debut for the German label Repulsion. Some time was taken off by the band to write and record, but beginning in 1992, the band found time to record two singles and an EP (entitled Fiver) for the independent Third Gear records. The band became darlings of the music press, making an appearance on the cover of an Alternative Press "Bands to Watch" issue. Slot released more critical praise for their 1995 EP Rule of :45 (Third Gear), receiving another great review from AP. Although they don't tour as heavily or as frequently as other alternative bands, Slot has played with the likes of the Rollins Band, the Cows, and the Afghan Whigs, and have appeared on Lollapalooza's second stage. The group launched a nationwide tour in 1996, with another full-length in the works. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
