SLANT 6 played their first show in the Summer of 1992 with Myra Power (Lucky 13) on bass, Christina Billotte (Autoclave, QUIX*O*TIC) on guitar and voice and Marge Marshall debuting on drums. Three songs were recorded at Inner Ear Studios with Don Zientara and Ian MacKaye, and released as a single on Dischord in June of 1993. They did many small tours of the US, stretching from their Washington DC home all the way to the West Coast. For their debut album, the trio returned to the successful recording formula at Inner Ear with Don and Ian. Slant 6 took their name from an in-line six cylinder engine produced in the 1960's and 70's by Dodge for the Chrysler Motor Company. Originally produced with 170 cubic inch displacement, it was later enlarged to 225 Cl and finally 240 Cl for maximum power. It was noted for it's reliability and distinctive angle, banked at 30 degrees from vertical. In 1995, Slant 6 released their second album, "Inzombia" (Dischord 94), recorded a split 7 inch single with Make-Up and toured in England. They broke up in 1995. |
