Episode 345: Buy a Tuner

from SlapperCast · host Blaggards

SlapperCast Episode 345: "Buy a Tuner" This week we’re looking back at our earliest band rehearsals—Turbo's garage days when the neighbors hated it, the cops would shut them down, and they were cranking everything to 10. Chad recalls the endless nights of tuning with his high school band Elemental Penguin, and Patrick admits his first band never got past the intro of Rainbow's “Since You’ve Been Gone.” We also talk about our recent gig at Gillespie’s Irish Tavern, why some venues feel like instant homes, and what makes owners who invest in live music so important. From Oktoberfest to the Pirate Festival, we’ve got new shows on the horizon, plus a mission: to keep reminding people what music actually is in an age of AI.
