Video footage of
SLIP KID, a
THE WHO tribute band featuring

As previously reported,
SLIP KIDwill play at the Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts on Friday, April 25.
According to the group's official bio,
SLIP KID was born from a common bond that has influenced brothers
Cherone from the very beginning and continues to inspire today.
The band consists of veterans of the Boston music scene, with
Gary's former bandmate, singer, songwriter
Paul Mangone on bass, and the manic antics of
Keith Moon handled by
Dana Spellman on drums. Rounding out the sound on keyboards and programming is
Jeff Calder.
