Slazenger 7

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slazenger 7 is a power pop trio from Chicago. Founded just after the turn of the century by Matt DeRosa, Mike Fertig, and Todd Hoyer, the band has caught a minor buzz around Chicago by writing catchy, high-energy, pop songs that draw on their adolescent memories. They've also built a niche for themselves with their penchant for writing songs with the word "girl" in the title ("Suburban Girl," "Dominick's Girl," "Beer Cart Girl").

[edit] History

Unofficially formed in 2003, it wasn't until 2005 that the band finally played their first notes together in their Elmwood Park practice space. At that time they were known as The Finalists. However, wishing to avoid the hassle of being confused with Maverick Records and Warner Bros. recording artists The Finalist, the band changed their name to Slazenger 7.

The band released their first album, titled Night Putting, on December 20, 2006. The 11 track album was named after a line from the major motion picture, Caddyshack.

In early 2007, Slazenger 7 brought outside help to the band in the form of vocalist Molly Sullivan. This addition has helped the group creatively expand their already musically diverse repertoire.

Currently unsigned by a major label, Slazenger 7 is working on their sophomore effort.
