21St Century Classic Rock & Post Punk Slippery When Wet has been honored by The 4th brigade of the Fort Drum, NY 10th Mountain Division, 4/25 Field Artillery A Battery, requesting their CDs "Motel Boy" and "Like A Phoenix" for moral support while patrolling the deserts in Iraq. Slippery When Wet is more than just another rock & roll and blues band, it is the offspring of fate. After years of drifting around from band to band, Linda in Chicago and the Phoenix area, Von Shadow in his native Arizona, and never finding quite the right combination of musicians, both wearily packed away their dreams. Ironically, they had crossed paths before, but were involved with different bands, never played together and lost track of each other.
