  • Episode 5: Kerfuffleful

    Patrick and Chad tell the story of how the band's instrumental tune "Kerfuffleful" was written and recorded for the movie How To Be Single, how "Drunken Sailor" and "Big Strong Man" came to be featured on an episode of the CBS series The Good Wife, and how "Big Strong Man" was used in the British film The Kid. We also take a look at how podcasting and internet radio has helped us get our music out there throughout the years.

                                                Patrick (lead vocals & guitar) and Chad (bass & vocals) talk about the bands they were in before Blaggards, how they met, how the band got its name, and other anecdotes from the early days of their fifteen-plus years as bandmates.

                                                This first episode started off as an audio test, but actually turned into an interesting discussion so we decided to let it roll.
