Slippers have been playing together as a band for 23 years. Based in Long Beach, CA and rooted as an instrumental band. Over the last 6 years they have been working with different singers and rappers to deepen their catalog and expand their horizons. “MARS Vol2 “SAMMAS”, is a sequel or completion to the story in “Mars” Vol1. It is part spoken word, beat-poetry, sci-if, and a continuation of the Mars saga. It was put together to finish a stage show we have been working on for Mars. The music and words complete the story and serve as the soundtrack for the stage show. Keep tabs as hopefully they will be pulling off a full stage show production in the future…
