Video: Slobberbone "Lazy Guy" SXSW 1999

Slobberbone fans may be interested in this older video of "Lazy Guy". Pretty good video and audio quality, which is nice for a change. It's a safe bet this was filmed onto VHS tape - in this day and age I guess that's considered fucking old school. I definitely dig the black and white.

Well, the Slobberbone Winter Tour 2009 didn't unfold the way I had hoped - they only went out for a week, and didn't come within 500 miles of tallboycan HQ. Damn! Here's a link to a recording of one of the shows. I've only listened to a song and half of it, so I can't comment on it yet, though the sound is pretty good. Enjoy.

Slobberbone winter tour 2009

A broken-up band can only play so many gigs before they stop being "reunion shows." Slobberbone may be at that point. I don't really know what's going on in the Slobberbone camp, so I ain't gonna risk jinxing it by saying "They're back!" Maybe I'll give it a "They're back?!?!". Either way they've got a few upcoming gigs booked with a promise of "more on the way" (http://www.slobberbone.com/tour.html). This is all very excellent in my book.

November 27- Dan's Silverleaf - Denton,TX

December 1- White Water Tavern - Little Rock, AK

December 4- Barley's Taproom - Knoxville, TN

December 5- Smiths Olde Bar - Atlanta, GA

December 30th - Granada Theaterv - Dallas, TX

I'm really hoping they dip into the Northeast for a few shows. I'll be calling in sick and roadtripping if necessary Goddammit.

Live Slobberbone: Netherlands 1998 FM Broadcast

I've been searching for good live Slobberbone recordings for a while now and man, this is it. Download this show! Originally an FM radio broadcast, I'd classify the sound as "great bootleg quality". The band is in their prime and on fire. Live rock and roll doesn't get much better than this.

video: Slobberbone Reunion opener - Tilt-a-Whirl

Slobberbone opening their 2 Feb reunion gigs with the over-the-top ass-kickin' "Tilt-a-Whirl" - so..fuckin..cool...

Update: Slobberbone Reunion?

Following their 2 reunion shows in February, I just learned that Slobberbone has a 3-night run booked in Wisconsin in August. I've never been this excited about concerts that are 1,000 mile from my house that I have no chance of attending. Are these shows part of a longer tour hopefully? This adds fuel to the Slobberbone new album rumors previously reported on this here website (http://tallboycan.blogspot.com/2009/01/rumor-slobberone-new-album.html). Pretty cool...

If anyone has info regarding future Slobberbone plans let me know.

Download: Slobberbone live podcast

In honor of the 2 Slobberbone reunion shows that went down this weekend in Texas (which I had no chance in hell of attending living in NY), I'm posting this 27 minute live Slobberbone podcast. It was compiled by their record label I think and most of it is...well...kinda bland. The first 4 tracks are straight-forward songs and unexciting versions at that (Trust Jesus, Sister Beams, Trust Jesus (again - but this time a poorer quality version. Hey New West Records: fire the intern that put this thing together. Dummy.), and Billy Pritchard. But it's the last song, "Can't Stay Sober" that you should hear. It starts at 19:35 if you just want to skip ahead. Very rocking. I just love the whole pick-scratching thing. Download it here:

Any word about those shows this weekend?

[rumor] Slobberbone: New Album?

coolest press photo ever?

I'm not normally a rumor-monger, but...

...in an interview from this November (http://www.donewaiting.com/2008/11/14/road-trippin-with-two-cow-garage/), someone in Two Cow Garage said


Question: [What do you listen to in the van when you're] longing to hear something nostalgic

Answer: (Anonymous) Slobberbone, although there are rumors of a possible new Slobberbone album …


That's news to me. Exciting news. Can anyone add to this?

[update]: I see Slobberbone has 2 reunion gigs booked for early February in Texas. Very cool...
