The Slew’s “100%” Now Available in Australian Stores

The Slew’s album “100%” is now available in Australian stores through Ninja Tune.

The Slew was formed by Kid Koala and Dynamite D when film maker Jay Rowlands was making a film based on the life of Jack Slew, with his short-lived music career he invested money won at a racing derby into a home studio where he recorded his album, music labels rejected him, and he gave up his musician dream. For the documentary, his master Tapes were given to Kid Koala and Dynamite D to remix. When Jack pulled out of his participation on the documentary, The Slew’s remixes remained unheard of except for the limited 50 copies of “Dust Commander” which contained the songs.

When Kid Koala got together Chris Ross and Myles Heskett, he played the songs to the ex-Wolfmother boys and they were so impressed by it they wanted the rest of the world to hear the music, so Kid Koala teamed up with Ross and Heskett to re-create those remixes, and performed a tour around the USA and Canada, where copies of the recreated songs were only sold at the concerts on an album called “100%”. However, they had no idea how popular they would be and decided to get it distributed through a record label internationally.

Now the album has hit Australian stores, in the formats of CD and a 2xLP Vinyl.
