I'm on the guest list for the show of october 12 in Belgium.
SO I can't say anything about this particular show.... but I did interview David Hillyard of the band recently and they were very motivated to start the tour.
You can find that interview (and a lot of music) here: https://www.mixcloud.com/JahMon/rac434-interview-with-david-hillyard-of-the-slackers/

The Slackers Biography
One of New York's most notable ska bands, the Slackers formed in Brooklyn in 1991 and have played the world over many times since. Their first release was an eponymous self-released album, distributed by Moon Records in 1993 on cassette. Their first real debut is "Better Late Than Never" on moon ska records. Coming out in 1996, this album saw a movement to more traditional ska music, as opposed to their earlier two-tone and garage influences. It was produced by Victor Rice, a noted ska/reggae producer.
The next album released was Redlight, on Hellcat Records in 1997. This album solidified their sound and further fixed the line-up.
The band released its latest album, entitled Self Medication, in May of 2008.
