NEW LYRIC VIDEO FROM SOULFUL ROCKERS THE SLIM KINGS “THANK YOU” HAS PREMIERE VIA VENTS MAGAZINE TODAY
Genre: Indie/Rock/Pop
Press Release:
“THE KING’S COUNTY CLASSIC” OUT OCTOBER 16TH (New York, NY) – The new lyric video from soulful rockers The Slim Kings, “Thank You”, has its premiere via Vents Magazine today; check it out here. The not-at-all grateful ode exemplifies The Slims’ sound with an irresistible melody and heartfelt (though not sincere) backing vocals. Of “Thank You,” bassist Andy Attanasio commented, “I always envied how The Rolling Stones seemed to drum up great songs out of jams, and in very quick fashion. “Thank You” was written after we had finished all the writing for the album, and the cutting lyric and the loose feel of the music is inspired by The Stones at Muscle Shoals era.”
Recorded in an analog studio without a computer in sight, The Slim Kings’ forthcoming new album, THE KING’S COUNTY CLASSIC, is due out on October 16th. Produced by Nick Movshon (Amy Winehouse, Gaga, Bruno Mars, Antibalas), THE KING’S COUNTY CLASSIC was recorded at The Diamond Mine in Queens, the hub for Daptone/Truth & Soul. The album features the stripped-down, performance-first, rock n’ roll for which The Slim Kings have come to be known married with American soul sounds.

The Slim Kings feature singer and guitarist Michael Sackler-Berner, known for over forty primetime TV placements, R&B bassist Andy Attanasio (Joey Badass, Black Thought, Diddy) and legendary drummer Liberty Devitto, who spent more than three decades playing on seminal records for and performing with Billy Joel, Phoebe Snow and Paul McCartney. Blending elegant song-craft, impeccable instrumentation and a whole lot of soul, The Slim Kings have opened for Los Lonely Boys, ZZ Top, Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes and The Spin Doctors. Their music has been featured in over a dozen prime-time TV shows including Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, CBS’s FBI: Most Wanted, Amazon’s Cocked, and Netflix’s Bloodline. The band has also recorded with Grammy-winning producers Steve Jordan (John Mayer, Keith Richards) and Joel Hamilton (Tom Waits, Black Keys, Highly Suspect) and regularly headlines clubs in the tri-state area.
