The name Slippnått is a swedish frase written more exactly "slipp något" and basicly means "be let of something" or "not having to do something".
Formed in 1989 by a bunch of farmers who wanted to escape the boredom of working on a farm.
The outfits they wear are their regular working clothes.
Why masks? Slippnått plays the kind of music that is forbidden in the small village that is their home. They would be banned from beeing farmers if their identitys were revealed.
Who came first? No one can really tell of course, but rumour has it that the band 'Slipknot' started out playing Slippnått-covers in the mid eightees and then stole their whole concept and songs, got famous in the states and recorded their debut album while Slippnått, unaware of the theft, continued doing small shows on local bars in sweden.
