    I think they are broken up. Someone suggested them to me since I like DBT.

    I've only heard a couple of songs, but it's pretty good stuff.

    I heard really, really good things about them. They sounded like they would be right up my alley. I checked them out and wasn't that impressed. Kind of a bummer.

    Heard good things on the DBT Yahoo list.
    Heard they were in that vein, so will check them out.

    Two Cow Garage is great too.
    They've got some songs on their site for free download.

    Sometimes it gets trite...but a good y'alternative sound there.

    Interesting...I downloaded a few tracks and didn't really pay a lot of attention to them until recently.

    Those are two tracks I got...pretty good stuff.

    They mentioned on the DBT yahoo list (looks like we are all subscribed to that one) that DBT will be doing a tour with the Drams, which is essentially Slobberbone, minus a person or two.

    I haven't heard any studio stuff from Slobberbone, but have a few boots. They do a mean cover of Neil Youngs 'Big Time'. Sounds like a great fit with DBT.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Yeah, that'd be nice if they did a winter club tour...
    but after reading Patterson's story about driving through WV and NY in the snow, and everyone getting sick and puking all over the place, I just don't see it.

    I read on Nine Bullets that they toured with DBT before...it would be a good show.

    I haven't heard enough from them yet, but I like what I hear.

    They can do a winter club tour on the west coast. Hell, they could set up residence for a few months. I wouldn't complain. San Diego is still as far south as Alabama, just a little to the west.

    And I think they probably will...
    most of their BC dates are in the northeast, so...

    Yeah, no sweet tea out here. When I saw them on the Dirty South tour, Isbell made a point of calling out the fact that you can't smoke in bars in California. As he put it, 'You can smoke in Church in the South'.

    Yeah...the south is a strange land, but it makes for perfect fodder for rock albums.

    What's not to love about this band?

    Anyway..will work on the Slobberbone thing soon.

    Alright, since I turned this into a DBT thread, I'll make it a slobberbone thread again. If any of you that have replied to this thread so far(bobasfeet, sathogwa, PBM, or likepilateihaveadog) want some Slobberbone boots, pm me your address and I'll send you a few freebies.

    merkinball...no big deal...they seem to have a similar sound.

    Are there any shows up at http://www.archive.org?

    Nope, doesn't look like it. Although I'm listening to a great Phil & Friends show I pulled down from there last night...

    Yeah, I investigated and couldn't come up with anything.

    Some pretty good DBT shows up there though.

    What are some other Slobberbone songs to look into?

    To be honest, I don't know most of their song names off hand. I checked my boot list, and there isn't a setlist for most of them, with the exception of the one that is a 2-cd set of live covers. Lumberlung, Whiskey Glass Eye, Placemat Blues all come to mind as ones I've liked.

    Slobberbone is great. I saw them twice and both times they closed with Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer." The Drams release their first album on 7/25. It is all of Slobberbone save the bass player plus two guys from another band. I recommend starting with these Slobberbone albums:

    Barrel Chested
    Everything You Thought Was Right Was Wrong Today

    Just a bit of DBT again - I agreed to buy a ticket for the 9:30 Club show off a guy on the Yahoo list! So I'll be heading to DC tomorrow morning. I'm really excited because I haven't seen the whole band play since last July's Baltimore show.
