Amsterdam punk, hardcore and rock 'n roll pioneer Tony Slug has been shaking the earth with his riff-driven punk rock since 1978. He has tirelessly toured with his bands B.G.K, Loveslug, The Nitwitz, and The Hydromatics.
Throughout these crusades, Tony has built a vast network of friends in every corner of DIY rock’n’roll. As a tribute to his legacy, this international group of friends has contributed to what would unfortunately become his final record; right after all recordings were on tape, Tony died at the age of 60 after a brief battle with cancer.
The end result is an adequate homage to Tony’s legend; an album featuring over 30 players/writers, including Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Jennifer Finch (L7), Nicke Andersson (Hellacopters), Jerry A. (Poison Idea), Happy Tom (Turbonegro), and many more!
This short video documentary was made as part of the project.

Always such a good guy and a very seminal guitarist. Funny as hell and he will be missed and remembered dearly.RIP
Tony was already a legend alive. He’s missed so much now for so many reasons.
RIP Tony 🕯️
The rest of us ‘ll make sure you’ll stay a legend as long as everyone who ever met you or loved your music is still alive.
Rock on! ☠️
You'll be forever missed RIP Tony!
