This week, SlapperCast comes out a day early for Paddy’s Day!

In this episode, Paddy and Chad talk about how different Saint Patrick’s Day is in Ireland compared to the USA, how they first started playing at O’Bannon’s Taphouse in College Station back in 2005, and how they’ve been playing Paddy’s Day there every year since 2011.

In this week’s episode of SlapperCast, 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.
