The Slants Booking Agency Profile

Book The Slants for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
The Slants are an Asian-American synthpop group, who are often likened to ‘80s synth-pop bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, and Joy Division, as well as more recent artists like The Killers and The Bravery. They’re widely recognized for their contributions to the Asian American community, as they frequently perform at large cultural festivals and anime conventions. The Slants are also celebrated for their efforts in fighting against racist ideas and stereotypes. Over ten years ago, The Slants became the first and only Asian synthpop group in North America. Not too long after, they released their debut album, Slanted Eyes, Slanted Hearts. It became a major critical success, making AsiaXpress’ Top 5 Asian-American Albums list and winning awards including Album of the Year from the Portland Music Awards, Willamette Week, RockWired, and several others. They’ve since released four more albums (Slants! Slants! Revolution; Pageantry; The Yellow Album; and Something Slanted This Way Comes) along with an EP, titled The Band Who Must Not Be Named. Distinguished as the “Hardest Working Asian American Band”, The Slants were also honored as the world’s first Asian Fender Music spotlight artist. Just a couple years after forming, the band had been highlighted by more than 1,200 magazines, radio stations, websites, and television shows praising their self-proclaimed “Chinatown Dance Rock”. The Slants have performed at notable events like SXSW, and with artists like apl.de.ap (of The Black Eyed Peas), Vampire Weekend, Girl Tlak, Girugamesh, M.O.V.E, and Boom Boom Satellites..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking The Slants to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like The Slants in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking The Slants or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
The Slants's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking The Slants for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book The Slants, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing The Slants. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate The Slants booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book The Slants for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Slants booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Slants charge for an event. An example fee to book The Slants is in the starting range of $7,500-$14,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Slants agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Slants manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Slants for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Slants agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Slants, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Slants booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Slants, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
