The Slants - Armed Forces Tour in Bosnia and Kosovo

The Slants are performing for the U.S troops stationed in Bosnia and Kosovo for Winter 2011/2012!

ABOUT THE SLANTS:

The Slants are the only all-Asian American dance rock band in the world.

Kicking off the band's career at a tiny dive bar in Portland, OR, The Slants soon found themselves on tour and in demand worldwide performing at music halls, colleges, and anime conventions. Within months, they released their debut album "Slanted Eyes, Slanted Hearts" winning multiple awards from the likes of Willamette Week, Rockwired, AsiaXpress, and the Portland Music Awards. Since that first iconic show in 2007, The Slants have been cited as the "Hardest Working Asian American Band" (slanteyefortheroundeye.com), toured North America ten times, rejected a million dollar recording contract, were the first and only Asian band to be a Fender Music artist, and according to U.S Congress, the first rock band to play inside a state library.

The Willamette Week, summarizes The Slants' history perfectly: "It's a great story: All-Asian synthcore troupe lands anime festival, achieves instantaneous notoriety from overpacked fireball-laden maelstrom, inspires John Woo and Dragon Ball Z fans toward aggro electro and—just months after its first practice—books gigs across the globe. As shadow-warriory as the Slants' rise has been, it's still all about the tunes, and the band's debut—floor-filling synth pop bristling with all the menace and grandeur of its oft name-checked cultural icons—is propulsive, cinematic and impossible to ignore."

@anasthase100 We're going to honor the commitment and service of our troops who are making sacrifices to protect liberty

@anasthase100 bitch please...Kosova is no way Serbian, it was is and will be Albanian

Serbs invaded Balkans in the 7th century while Albanians lived here for more then 4000 years
