This week we start off by "killing" a few songs we're sick of hearing, one being by a band that has since broken up… which leads us to speculate what might happen to our individual careers if Blaggards were to suddenly stop gigging.

Here is Episode 162 of SlapperCast, recorded right after we all got home from an extremely sunny and windy show at Bumpy Pickle in Houston. This week we slay a few more songs, recap our Paddy's Week shows, and heap praise upon fiddler Heide Riggs, the Basil Trio, and some of our coolest and most dedicated fans.

This week we recap our recent recording session at Edgewater Studios with recording and mixing engineer John Shelton. Also, praise for our friend, Houston-area bassist Mark Riddell, who has a new album coming out VERY soon (also recorded at Edgewater)... and some thoughts about New Orleans.

A 21-minute documentary of this session is on our Patreon, a sort of "fly on the wall" perspective of our working process:

This week on SlapperCast we’re thrilled to introduce you to our good friend, the brilliant luthier and guitar tech Liam Leach, creator of the newest guitar and bass you’ve seen us playing recently. Both were built as part of his training at the prestigious Galloup School Of Guitar Building And Repair.

Chad has been using Liam’s “Bravocado” bass exclusively since Liam gave it to him in early October, and used it during our recent recording session for “Come out Ye Black & Tans”, which we’ll be talking about next week.
