Triple The Fun With SLAYYYTER

Triple The Fun With SLAYYYTER

Author: HEAVY Magazine April 28, 2023 Duration: 8:24
Interview by Kris Peters
It's not often HEAVY gets to speak with performers that are more on the pop side of rock than metal, but when that artists name bears more than a passing similarity to one of the titans of thrash then it just wouldn't be metal to say no.
What's her name you may ask?
Slayyyter....
Yep, and if you didn't see it straight away too then hang your head in shame!
Slayyter is currently in Australia thanks to Frontier Touring, performing her own headline shows as well as being on the top billing of the travelling Groovin The Moo Festival, and from all reports has been (ahem) slaying them in the aisles at each show.
HEAVY felt strangely drawn to this artist and as such felt honour bound to find out more...
"It's been awesome so far," she smiled. "I feel like it's fun just to bring the live show to the fans down here, and I feel like... I dunno... crowds are just incredible. There's always a lot of energy. I love it down here. It's my second trip so I've been having a lot of fun exploring and meeting with people outside of the show and getting to see all these familiar faces on tour that I always see."
We ask Slayyyter to describe her live show a bit more and what fans can expect.
"It's pretty much just like a big rave almost," she replied. "I definitely do a mix that my DJ mixes on the side and then my own stuff. It's not just my music. I have interludes with electronic music that I really love so it's kind of just like really high energy, it feels like a nightclub. Not a lot of slow moments. It's definitely go, go, go the whole time."
In the full interview Slayyyter discusses how the Groovin The Moo shows are going, who has grabbed her attention from the lineup, weighs up the pros and cons of an outdoor festival verses a club show, playing to festival crowds that might not know and/or appreciate your music, debuting new songs live on tour and how they have been received, her next album and what to expect, how and why her name so closely mirrors the titans of thrash and more.
