“…and on the eighth day, Slap Maggy rose from the ashes of Aftermath.”
Slap Maggy is a good-time band that takes the show just as serious as
the music. It’s pretty amazing how these five guys from different bands
and other projects found each other. All egos aside, they have the
passion, the talent, and the unbridled enthusiasm to bring you a fun and
energetic show.
Musically, what you can expect at a Slap Maggy show is thunderous
locking grooves laid down by drummer Mike Baker and bassist Tommy
Haviland, screaming, colorful overtones generated by guitarists Lenny
Burkett (a.k.a. Squid), and Lloyd Wallace (a.k.a. Dr. Scary), and pristine
lyrical interpretations by lead singer Breck Searle.
What you can visually expect from a Slap Maggy show is a collective
visual interpretation of each song they play. From high energy to subtle
emotion, each song is felt by not just the band, but the audience as well.
Due to the fact that each member of Slap Maggy has a favorite style of
music, they are able to have an extremely diverse song list. Although they
concentrate on such styles as the hair band rock of the ‘80s, and today’s
heavier rock, they also have a collection of rock favorites from across
the board. With an arsenal like that, they are sure to please anybody at
any venue they play. The original songs have been well received and are
in high demand also. They have something for everyone. For the grinding
groove there is “Your Love” and for the emotion there is “On My Way”. For
the fun lyrical twist there is “Jane Likes Dick” and for the heavy ass-
kicking anthem there are “Damage” and Land’s End” with more that fall in
between.
ATTITUDE CHECK!!!
All in all, the Slap Maggy experience is a great time for all. With a high
energy show and an extremely diverse song list, Slap Maggy can certainly
provide something for everyone in the way of entertainment. Most
importantly, they have fun doing it, which makes for a great show. Slap
Maggy is a great live entertainment experience.
