I am Bob Slayer manager / tour manager of Japanese Rock & Rollers Electric Eel Shock and head of security for internet phenomenon MC Devvo.

When I was younger and lighter I was a National Hunt Jockey.
But then I broke my back
And got fat.
It was time to move on…

I went on tour with Wizzard and then other bands such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and The Wurzels. Then I was asked to take a band to Japan, I have little memory of what happened but I have since learnt that driving to the first gig the tour bus crashed killing everyone in it except me. Thus confirming that I am not a very good Tour Manager.

The years that followed are an amnesia and sake induced blur… Somehow in 1999 I caused uproar by being the first westerner to become Karaoke Champion of Japan. I lived a short semi celebrity lifestyle in Japan before meeting a young Japanese band, Electric Eel Shock. I have been touring the world with EES ever since and although I am still a very bad tour manager I haven’t killed them yet.
