Slipstream were formed in 1994 after Mark Refoy
left Spiritualized. The band
consisted of Ian Anderson on guitar, Gary Lennon on bass, Steve Beswick
on drums and occasional appearances from Jonny
Mattock who had also stopped drumming for Spiritualized later that
year. Over the following five years the band released two albums, Slipstream
and Be Groovy Or Leave, and a compilation CD, Side
Effects, all on Che Records.
In 1999
the band ceased recording after releasing a final single, 'Everything
And Anything', on the Enraptured label. The track recently featured on
the soundtrack to the BBC3 sitcom Ideal
starring Johnny Vegas.
In 2004
Slipstream, now down to a two-piece consisting of the core former Spacemen
3 members, Mark Refoy and Jonny Mattock, decided to play live
again, with the help of electronic augmentation. Both men reside in
their home town of Northampton, and have made notable live
appearances both in the town and elsewhere around the UK.
Refoy and Mattock have also played on the recent Freelovebabies
album by former Spacemen 3/Spiritualized bassist Will
Carruthers. Following his time in Spiritualized, Mattock has had stints
with The
Breeders and Lupine Howl and currently also plays in
the live band of Massive Attack. Mattock
also appeared alongside The Breeders bassist Josephine
Wiggs, in the Josephine Wiggs Experience, releasing material
on The Beastie
Boys Grand Royal label.
Refoy appeared alongside former Levitation
and Dark Star guitarist Bic
Hayes on the most recent world tour for the Pet
Shop Boys, including an appearance headlining the Live 8 concert, Moscow.
