This episode features James “Jimbo” Edwards, one of the drummers who will be filling in with Blaggards while Turbo’s recovering from knee replacement surgery.
James actually used to be a full-time member of the band… back in 2007, he was the second drummer to play with us following Brian Vogel, about two years before we met Mike McAloon. James also has a long history playing with Moses Guest, a legendary Houston band whose website I designed and maintain.
Patrick sent me a funny intro clip for this where he’s bathed in a red neon light, speaking as if he was on a covert spy mission, so I leaned into that with the edit, adding glitch distortion and weird sound effects. Fun stuff.
Also the end is a bit of our rehearsal with James (running through “Niteclub” by Old 97s), cut with a montage of photos from the old days with James, playing at Fitzgerald’s and the Continental Club in Houston.
