SlapperCast Episode 401: "The Keith Jarrett of Irish Rock" Coming at you from a hotel room at the Killarney Plaza Hotel, here is a rough cut of SlapperCast Episode 401, recorded on the third evening of our 12th Annual Worldwide Tour of Ireland. This is Jimbo's first trip to Ireland, so you get to hear his first impressions. We also dig into our recent delightful discovery that Jimbo vocalizes while playing drums... involuntarily. A whole lot more Ireland tour stuff coming in next week's episode!

.SlapperCast Episode 400: Swan Dive into a Brick Pond 400 episodes! How the hell did that happen? We recorded this one in two parts as we’re getting ready to leave for Ireland. First, Emilio joins us to talk about how things have been going since he joined Blaggards, how our sound has changed over the years, and what we think the next six months might look like. There’s a new record somewhere in there, too… although what that record is going to be keeps changing. Then Jimbo joins us ahead of his FIRST trip to Ireland. We talk about how he’s settling back into the band, his thankfully resolved passport scare, and what he has to look forward to—including playing a show the same day we get off the plane. That gets us reminiscing about our very first show in Ireland, when we did exactly that. Also: Rock the Shelter, Blaggoween on The Whip, and why you should start making plans to come to Ireland with us in 2027.

SlapperCast Episode 398: "A good drummer will make you dance. A bad drummer will make you leave." This week on SlapperCast, Patrick and Chad recap Blaggards’ fourth annual Pirate Fest at Home Sweet Farm in Brenham, Texas—where the storms passed us by and the dance floor stayed busy. With live footage from the show, we talk about Jimbo’s groove, slowing down “Copperhead Road,” and the musical surprises that keep familiar songs feeling fresh. We also celebrate Jeff Duncan and the players and friends helping keep Blaggards rolling, and send our love to Dave Hitchcock as he recovers from brain surgery. Plus: memories of dodging rain at Fadó in Austin, Emilio’s first Houston show with us, and our upcoming Ireland tour. Where are you listening from?

SlapperCast Episode 397: "Paddy's Timber" This episode of SlapperCast finds all four of us in the van heading home from the Dallas/Fort Worth area after two nights of gigs at Gillespie’s Irish Tavern in Richardson, and Lewisville Western Days. Emilio shares his Celtic fiddle roots, and we reflect on the energy of this lineup before things go predictably slapper-sideways.
