Local bluesman Paul Kype and Texas Flood’s  live shows are a lot of fun, so it is about time we heard a recording of one of them.
 So with that in mind, the band put the finishing touches on a live CD by recording crowd noises atas the Slice,  Dec. 1.

 They played an up beat set of covers ranging from Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady,” some  originals  from Paul Kype, including my favourite “Freight Train,” as well as a couple from guitarist Greg Gomola, who shone while singing a variety of covers from Blue Rodeo as  well as his own.

He told the audience one of his songs, ‘Modern Day Marlin Monroe,’ was about Shaela Miller,” and he played another upbeat number called ‘Ode To Jimi.’

 Craig Erdman held down the bottom end  on bass and Brady Valgaardson kept the energy levels up on drums.

 The didn’t have a lot of people in the audience, however they were enthusiastic and made a decent amount of noise.

Most of the CD was recorded on Oct. 5 at The Slice.

Look for “Live at the Slice,” to be released sometime in January.
