Slip's journey into rockabilly began in the early 1980s, when he bought a British import copy of the Stray Cats' eponymous debut. His genuine fascination with the Cats' brash style led him to acquire a rare and precious Gretsch Chet Atkins 6120 model guitar that was once previously owned by Stray Cats' leading man, Brian Setzer. After trying his hand in various local groups (like the Preachers) throughout the rest of the decade, Mahoney finally decided to focus on his passion for old-time blues, old country, and 1960s surf classics. His first gig as a full-fledged rockabilly singer took place at the well-known Lauderdale blues bar Rosey Baby. Just like his idol Elvis, he sang a hip-shaking rendition of "That's All Right Mama." "I feel like it's beautiful, happy music," he says. "It can also definitely be a lifestyle."
PALM BEACH POST By Bill Meredith Friday, April 7th 2006 Unlike the wildly impossible to ignore rock genre, rockabilly has long been the illegitimate child of blues and country music. For 50 years, the now middle aged sub genre has occasionally surfaced in the post Elvis era- like in the early 80’s when a trio called the Stray Cats helped usher in the fledgling music video craze on MTV. For young Miami native Slip Mahoney, the effects ran deep. Already an old soul musically through Elvis’s influence, he soaked up every nuance of Stay Cats Guitarist Brain Setzer. As Setzer formed his current horn-heavy big band, Mahoney crafted a stripped down South Florida rockabilly trio, Slip and the Spinouts, seven years ago. The singing guitarists teamed up with drummer Boxcar Mike and bassists A.J. Kelly. “I always like Cliff Gallup from gene Vincent’s band; Paul Burleson; and Brian Setzer.” With his slicked back hair and long sideburns, Mahoney can visually challenge that notion from a distance. Performing live, he blends the early Elvis hits That All Right Mama and Blue Moon of Kentucky into a medley. Mahoney’s energetic originals, like Ding Dong Tennessee and True Blue Redhead, fit perfectly between such venerable material and more recent tunes like Jukebox Mama and I Want to Love Somebody. More of Slip ’s tunes will be released soon, as he and the Spinouts are recording a follow-up to their self-titled debut CD. Expect more of his swinging blend of American roots music, as he tends to wear his influences on his sleeve-whether or not rolled up and attached to a bowling shirt. CITY LINK BEST OF 2002 Lots of rockabilly musicians look the part — greased-back hair, sleeve tattoos, black wardrobe — but few can actually play the part as well as singer-guitarist Mahoney. Without succumbing to the level of a corny nostalgia act, Slip and the Spinouts ably channel the spirit of classic rockabilly and jump-blues through their retro-minded originals and covers of tunes by the likes of Ronnie Dawson and Little Walter. Mahoney and Bocsusis are the band’s only steady members, as it switches among bassists Rimmington, Schuchek and Naples depending on their availability. Bocsusis is better-known to local Punk-rock fans as the drummer of The Holy Terrors, and Mahoney jokes that he still has a punk rocker’s aversion to punctuality. “If he keeps showing up at the last minute, I’m gonna change his name to Lil Red Caboose,” says Mahoney, who adds that Stan Waldman, owner of the Hollywood club Musicians Exchange at One Night Stan’s, gave Bocsusis the nickname “Boxcar” because he once showed up to a gig with his drum kit in boxes. Look for the group at venues such as Rosey Baby in Lauderhill and Club M in Hollywood, and listen for their original songs “The Girl She’s Crazy,” “Ding Dong Tennessee” and “Date With My Baby Tonight” on WKPX (88.5-FM)’s Sunday Blues.

Myers, Florida, and their music kept bringing people from the street into The Liquid CafÈ. Todd will still handle some vocals, and the group has just released a new CD, "Slip and the Spinouts". This thirteen-track disc is in a neat package, and the inside jacket says "All songs recorded in the garage using the most inferior instruments and equipment. All mistakes left in at no extra charge."
