Slow Children was a new wave art pop duo from Los Angeles, USA.

The band formed in 1979 and were a full-sized Los Angeles club band (which once included future Bangle Michael Steele). They became a duo with Pal Shazar (vocals) and Andrew Chinich (vocals/guitar) and relocated to England where they were signed shortly after. Their self titled first album (recorded in LA) was available in the UK almost a year before a revised version appeared in America. The US version of their debut album includes their dance semi-hit, “Spring in Fialta,”

The records were made with the aid of Los Angeles players Jules Shear (also Pal Shazar's husband), Stephen Hague (both of Jules And The Polar Bears), and David Scheff of Translator).

In 2016 they reformed and released a new album and then played gigs throughout 2016 and 2017.
