Biography

Growing up in Florida and Georgia before moving to Potomac, Maryland, at the age of 11, indie rock innovator John Vanderslice grew up listening to a mix of Led Zeppelin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Kinks, and Southern rock, which instilled an eclectic musical vocabulary. Forced into piano lessons as a child, he eventually picked up the guitar, culminating in his five-year tenure with the much-heralded experimental pop band MK Ultra. A literate, ever-curious songwriter and sonic technician, he has released numerous solo albums, including Mass Suicide Occult Figurines, Time Travel Is Lonely, Life and Death of an American Fourtracker, Cellar DoorPixel Revolt, and Emerald City. ~ Matt Fink
