Vehement punk duo Slaves may be a suitably intense experience on stage and on record, but in person Isaac Holman and Laurie Vincent are perfectly charming.
To mark their UK tour, the Kent duo sat down with Gigwise at The Fox in London's Shoreditch for our series of 'Life Advice' videos. In a way that no-one could have predicted, this turned into Vincent revealing a close encounter at a BRIT Awards afterparty with Hollywood hardman Jason Statham.
Watch Slaves talking about meeting Jason Statham in our video above.
What follows is as intense as watching Crank for the first time, including Vincent reflecting on Snatch, Holman's thoughts on Transporter, why Statham defines himself as a martial artist first - as well as the man himself instructing 'Follow your dreams Laurie!"
Slaves are playing alongside Fat White Family, Palma Violets and the Amazing Snakeheads on the NME Awards tour 2015. Full tour dates below. For tickets and more information, visit here.
