Who the hell is Slim Deal? From the dark deep north Queensland swampland, amongst the mangroves of the tidal Moody Creek, emerges a new icon for a post-roots paradigm: Slim Deal. Slim Deal drops classic art/blues stories, dripping with shadowy activities, sweaty characters and swampy riff’s. Drawing from the catalogue of myth, personal experience, and local mystery, Slim has been described as the “Wolf of Moody Creek”. Slim Deal speaks the new truth – channelling old songmen through a musty, surreal, deep north lens. Performed with a large HD video backdrop, a Slim Deal show takes punters on a immersive journey of intrigue, mystery and colour. Drawing from naïve blues licks, sampled objects, traditional drums and electronics, the songs traverse a post-roots landscape: looped, lush and raw. Slim Deal released his EP “Red in Blue” in May 2017.
