The Pink Slips, 1985

The Pink Slips attended (and even GRADUATED from!) Lake Washington High School in Kirkland, WA (across Lake Washington from Seattle). We were suburban punks in the early/mid 1980s, on the cusp of the Grunge Era. In fact, our 1986 cassette-only release "Eclectic Lunch" was described by a reviewer in the University of Washington Daily as having "grungy enthusiasm." And this was YEARS before SubPop paid Everett True to create/write about the "grunge" moniker for Seattle bands. Sigh. Ahead of our time, I suppose . . .
