Adrian found Julie Slick and her drummer brother Eric at the School of Rock in Philly 16 years ago. (Eric has gone on to drum for Dr. Dog.) He loved the trio so much, he wrote an entire suite called “e” for them. The album was recorded live in the studio. The “b3” section was recorded in ONE take. When you hear it, you’ll understand why that’s so amazing!

Julie is one of the most joyful and enthusiastic bassists I’ve ever known. She’s never not having fun onstage. Check out her band Echotest. Fantastic stuff!

Tight band. Julie is a killer bassist. Been an Adrian fan since Zappa. Drummer very solid. Great stuff.

[Cpayne]

It’s incredible how Belew uses his setup to make it sound like there’s a least 3 guitars! Sublime bass and drum work also. They put the “power” in the trio...!

[demonicsweaters]

Jesus man, Belew has been awesome for Decades and this band is sick a frak! THAT BASSIST!

[thomasmoje]

Close my eyes and I hear King Crimson! Not a bad thing. God bless Adrian Belew he is so talented. Always pushing the envelope with his compositions and what can be done on the instrument.

[ulfingvar]

Never seen Julie smile so wildly and make such faces she is clearly enjoying herself.. Hell, WE are enjoying ourselves.. This is great A hundred times better than the shit we hear on commercial radio.

[domokornmusic]

Kinda reminds me of Red-era King Crimson in the best way. Killer stuff!

[silvansky]

We need a full set with such a sound and filming!

[NUMBerger]

The best part is seeing the three of them smile. Just amazing.

[bvaughan]

Julie Slick might be my all-time favorite bassist. She is soooo good.

[thomasmoje]

Love that the bass is so strong in the mix, too. Hallmark of 'King Crimson' style music. All three players great. Put on some headphones, a glass of good scotch, and I'm in nirvana.

[Watos]

The bass/guitar riff has been on my mind since i first watch this video. Damn it's so good!

[skelelator]

I saw Adrian 2x this past tour, Pawling and Albany NY.


Adrian rules, and Julie is awesome

This is some rockin teenage combo.

[thomasraven]

I keep coming back to this video and every time I watch it, it's like I've never seen it before. I hope AB records more with this trio. The album is some of his best work to date.

[MrSphinxster]

Let a comb never find what remains of Adrian's hair. Awesome stuff!

[francinebacone]

Adrian Belew's commitment to the weird and experimental, which keeping is heavy as fuck, well into his old age is inspiring as fuck. Love this man

[edwardx.winston]

Slick is sick! Absolutely stunning track. Belew still pushing the envelope.

[basildaddyhenry]

WHOLE LOTTA LOVE in Adrian's smile

Awesome !!! I saw Adrian playing in David Bowie's band here in Brazil back in the 90's and was blown away with his artistry and stage presence, even if sidelined by Bowie's very own magnetism as a performer and showman altogether.
My best regards from a COVID-19 terrified Brazil.
