SLIP KID—a tribute to The Who featuring legendary Boston rock vocalist, Gary Cherone—will perform an exclusive concert at Arlington’s Regent Theatre on Friday, April 25 at 8pm.  The show will likely be Slip Kid’s last performance of 2008 as Cherone hits the road with Extreme for eight months starting in May.

SLIP KID is not just another WHO tribute band, nor does it try to impersonate them. SLIP KID is a truly inspired celebration of the WHO’s music and live performance which captures the raw emotional energy of one of the most revered rock bands of our age. And WHO better to do it? The brain child of the brothers Cherone, with Markus on guitar and Gary singing lead, SLIP KID was born from a common bond that has influenced them from the very beginning and continues to inspire today. The band consists of veterans of the Boston music scene with Gary's former band mate, singer-songwriter Paul Mangone on bass, the manic antics of Moon handled by Dana Spellman on drums, and Jeff Calder on keyboards and programming. The audience will hear everything from the WHO’s early eclectic pop to the familiar anthems of a g-g-g-generation, with a few odds and sods in-between.

From 1985 to 1996, Gary Cherone led the internationally renowned, multi-platinum rock group, Extreme, releasing several hit singles including the smash, “More Than Words.” The band also performed at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992—seen by over a billion people in 80 countries—where Cherone also fronted Queen. Extreme disbanded in 1996 but shortly thereafter Cherone became Van Halen's lead singer until 1999 replacing Sammy Hagar.

SLIP KID will play the historic Regent Theatre, “Arlington’s Show Place of Entertainment,” on Friday, April 25, 2008 at 8pm. Reserved seats are $15.00, $17.50 and $27.50. Located on 7 Medford St. in Arlington, Massachusetts, the Regent Theatre is MBTA and handicap accessible with free parking across the street.
