We'll be visiting the North and the South, and you can join us for both or choose one or the other. Dennis and Patrick also discuss tips on flights, clothing, and currency.

SlapperCast Episode 270: "Extra Slap on the Back"
This one recorded last night after Patrick returned from Philadelphia, where he attended the funeral of his much beloved brother-in-law Tim Mohan. There's so much to be said about Tim that I don't think we can articulate yet, but Patrick does his best to do so here.
We then steer into more lighthearted topics, including our (possibly) newly-improved attitude about the Dallas area, thanks to venues like the Wounded Ostrich, where we're playing next month, and big events like the Lone Star Celtic Festival in McKinney, which we'll be playing this coming weekend.

This one was recorded in bits as we drove ourselves separately to Beaumont and Brenham, intercut with clips from a performance of "Suspicious Minds" filmed with Turbo's 360 camera.
Patrick first shares a conspiracy theory about the donut incident from last week's episode (https://youtu.be/KChkUuC4vKw?si=cic7RrrNlVemIjBF&t=163)
We then catch Chad having "a moment" while driving home from Beaumont, trying to articulate what an amazing reception we got from the audience at Logon Cafe that night.
Then we see Turbo's killer drum solo in the middle of "Suspicious Minds" from our show at HSF Biergarten in Brenham, followed by an adlib from Patrick that apparently some people there thought was rehearsed.

SlapperCast Episode 261: "Nostradamus on Bass"
This is a short but very complex episode. An unusual situation required us to drive to an out-of-town gig in three different vehicles. Patrick, Chad and Turbo recorded segments individually while driving, and our friend Greg Fugate provided footage of the live show at Logon Cafe.
Unfolding throughout the episode is the story of how two soundguys at two different venues got intertwined with one name, erroneously and yet also somewhat precognitively... because of one befuddled bass player.

SlapperCast Episode 259: "Dock Curious"
PART ONE: Patrick and Chad continue our conversations about Elvis, Phil Lynott and Thin LIzzy. We imagine what might have been if Philo and Elvis had collaborated, and also talk about Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson ("Robbo"), who was only 17 years old when Phil Lynott hired him as the first replacement for Eric Bell.
PART TWO: Recorded in the van with Turbo on our way home from our gig at the Wounded Ostrich in Deep Ellum, Dallas. We had a GREAT time at the show, and thus the energy levels in this segment are high. We talk about our experience at the gig, and Turbo also brings us up to speed on his recent visit to Costa Mesa for a special SJC Custom Drums event. Also we do a few "shine-a-lights" on songs we've been digging on recently, which had been missing from the last few episodes.

Here is our ELVIS episode. How we first became aware of him, why we love him, his music, his sense of humor, favorite songs, the movies, the impersonators, and his legacy.
Like with Thin Lizzy and the Pogues, this is only the beginning of what is sure to be an ongoing conversation about one of our biggest heroes.

This one was recorded en route to our gig at Kelly's Irish Pub in Austin, and again on the way home, with Patrick daughter's Tara running camera and joining in the conversation.
Towards the end of the first segment we encountered a torrential downpour that got so loud we had to stop recording. It was still raining when we arrived at Kelly's, and the wooden stage area was exposed to the elements and completely soaked through. But thankfully the bar manager allowed us to commander the covered area of the patio.
There were hints online that the turnout that night would be good, but we were still knocked out by how many people showed up, especially considering the weather… and by the time we started playing it was standing room only and packed to the gills. This was the first gig we'd played in Austin since Fadó closed in 2018, so it was quite a thrill to see so many old friends and familiar faces, and of course all our new friends as well.
Chris Buckley joined us on fiddle for this show and did a FANTASTIC job. Also, towards the end of the show, Tara joined us to sing "Fairytale of New York", which made the night even more special.
In between the two segments is a bit of video that Turbo filmed from the stage shortly after we'd all raised a toast, where you can see how jam-packed the patio was at Kelly's.
Cheers to you all....HAPPY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
