Slovenly were an American post-punk band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1981.[1] After the group disbanded, Tom Watson joined Red Krayola for their self-titled album and has continued to record with them.[2]

History[edit]

The members of Slovenly had all attended Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach.[3] Steve Anderson, Scott Ziegler and drummer Bruce Lossen were in a band called the Convalescence.[3] When the bass player left, Watson joined and the band name was changed to Toxic Shock.[3]

After graduation, they continued playing music and the initial version of Slovenly was formed.[3] Eventually, Bruce left the band and was replaced by ex-Saccharine Trust drummer Rob Holzman.[2][3]

The band played their first gig as Toxic Shock with Minutemen and Saccharine Trust[4] which led to an invitation from the Urinals to contribute a track to the Keats Rides A Harley compilation album by Happy Squid Records.[4] The band changed their name to Slovenly and continued to gig with Minutemen which led to releasing their first albums on Mike Watt's New Alliance Records label.[4]
