Party Joke - Zappy

Here's a blast from the past ... a video we created in 1996 ... Zappy's Party Joke ... Enjoy!

Zappy Live At Dempsey's 11-21-07

So the infamous band Zappy performed on Thanksgiving Eve, which is out of character for the trio. They typically only play once every 5 or more years and here they are, performing twice within the past two years...maybe they are going big time? Just how big? You'll note the throngs of fans in the following video clip... the entire show was allegedly recorded and if I get a copy of it, I will post the entire show that will show that there were indeed people present to see Zappy perform other than myself. But this was the only clip that I took on my cell phone and of course I did so just before they kicked me out the show ended.

Zappy Full Show - 9-23-2006

And here is the full show... Party Joke and 12% are both mostly missing due to technical difficulties...

Zappy Reunion

So Zappy - a band comprised of my friends that were huge in Junior High School/High School throughout the 80's...so they've played 20+ years but haven't played actively together for probably 10 years or more. But once every 4, 5 (or more) years they will get together and rock out all the hits their fans grew up with like 12%, Skoal Brothers, Bug On Your Lip, Ride My Horsey, Party Joke, She's Wide and the list goes on....

Last night was just that occassion and I wasn't expecting what this one show would bring. A good group of folks drove at least 100 miles with several at least twice as far. I saw many old friends that I haven't seen in quite some time. Someone even flew in from San Francisco to see the show...alright, I'm not totally confident if he flew in just to see the show, but for some reason it wouldn't surprise me...Zappy fans are a rabid bunch. I have dubbed the show the "Reunion" because it was just like going to a reunion but the common denominator is Zappy which thus equals drinking and have a fun time.

I think the best comment regarding someone getting to this show was this one:

I was at a wedding and I told my wife we had to leave to get to the Zappy show. We weren't even finished eating yet. She was pretty peeved about this and gave me guff all the way to the bar. When we got there I told Bert (co-owner of bar) this and he said "That the chances of you getting divorced and back together are better than you getting another chance to see Zappy live. You made the right decision!"

I will have some videos up here shortly and I do plan on having the full show uploaded as well...so stay tuned for your fill of some Zappy!

The show was a great time and of course the aftershow has plenty of footnotes to add to the fun time by all!
