slums of harvard
The Slums of Harvard wasn't always a band. It was a place that represented a certain way of life. On Harvard Street near the UNM campus, there was a house where smoke filled the air, booze flowed like water, and everyone was always welcome. This chaotic and care-free atmosphere combined with the creativity of six fun-loving, energetic young guys has created an eclectic sound and an exciting performance for everyone who loves a good time.
​
They offer one of the highest energy Alternative Rock performances in all of the Southwest, and they fit anywhere from punk to pop with a unique sound that has been described by many as "party rock".
Slums of Harvard has played with touring acts such as B.o.B, Bad Suns, Sunfish, Blue Rain Boots, Suitable Miss, The Riddims, Side Montero, Savings, Right On Kid, Creature Canyon, Desert Fish, and many more.
They have played at several music festivals at the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University. Slums has also performed at large Albuquerque events such as Route 66 Summerfest and the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
​
The band was also featured on season 3 of the Emmy winning PBS series, Bands of Enchantment.
