Slack Alice were a product of the 70's and a casualty of punk rock. Formed in 1972, from Barnoldswick, Yorkshire they play endless gigs on the college and club circuit. Often featured in papers of the day such as Sounds. Record Mirror, NME and Melody Maker, they eventually gave up the ghost in 1978. A prog blues rock quintet fronted by Cockeresque frontman Cliff Stocker, they recorded one highly collectable LP titled "Billy plus nine" now bringing in excess of £120 through dealers and collectors magazines. The band was reformed in 1995 and the result so far has been this wonderful collection of songs old and new from the original line up.
