Slobberbone | 10:00 PM
 Okay, so it’s not the kind of name you’d throw around at a church social, but, hey, when was the last time you were at one of those, anyway?
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Brent Best reminisces: "I thought it was funny when we first named the band. I was sitting on the back lawn with Lee, our old bass player, and the dog was playing with this big ol' bone, and we always called them slobberbones as kids. So I said, 'That’s a nasty-ass slobberbone,' and Lee said, 'That's it!' At the time, it seemed like an innocuous name." So there it is, a casual decision that only has broader implications when people start to care about what you do.
Slippage, Slobberbone’s 4th album, was recorded by legendary producer Don Smith (Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones), whose experienced hand enabled the band to dig deep into their sound. Slippage is packed with great rock ‘n’ roll songs, from the flippant kiss-off of “Springfield, IL.” to the bloodstained triptych of “Butchers” to the hopeful yearning of “Back”, where a wayward friend longs to right his wrongs in the life he left behind. There are no extraneous bells and whistles here, just dead-on observations from the dark side of the human condition sung with the conviction of someone who’s lived it; guitars that push, pull, snarl and wail with desperate and joyful abandon, and underneath it all, the warmth and soul of a natural born rock band living and dying for every note.
