“Next thing you know, I’ve been in a band with him since 1985 and we’re still going strong to this day.” He needed some background vocals and somebody said, ‘You should call this guy,'” Slaughter said. “He was working at the studios in Hollywood out in Burbank.

How did he meet future Slaughter bass player Dana Strum, a D.C. “Being from Vegas, there’s a lot of different influences because that is the entertainment capital of the world, starting from the Rat Pack and forward.” “I listened to the radio like crazy: The Beatles, Grand Funk, then it became Frampton, Boston and Sabbath - all those classic rock bands a part of my DNA,” Slaughter said. … We’re jet-setting and earning our Delta points, that’s for sure.”īorn in Las Vegas in 1964, Slaughter grew up listening to the rock ‘n’ roll greats. “We’ve done a lot of shows with Great White and it’s been awesome. “We do what we call fly dates, so we fly out,” Slaughter said. Rather than touring the road, they fly in for specific gigs, this time with the band Great White. “It’s a good time, it’s a trip down memory lane, the band sounds great, the shows have been doing outstanding business and people are walking away with smiles on their face, so it’s nice to entertain again and bring some happiness to a very distraught world, so to speak.” “We just stay right to the nostalgia-based stuff,” frontman Mark Slaughter told WTOP. This Friday, Slaughter rocks Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races in West Virginia. You heard them all over the radio in 1990 with hard rock anthems like “Up All Night.” WTOP's Jason Fraley previews Slaughter at Hollywood Casino (Part 1) Business & Finance Click to expand menu.
