Gilbert Zapp’s was a club that was very famous for many years in West San Jose, Ca. Originally called the Bodega , Zapp’s was located in downtown Campbell, and like the Bodega, hosted many wonderful bands of great fame. For nearly two years, Stickband had a regular weekly Wednesday night gig there. Zapp’s became a home base of sorts for us, which gave us the opportunity to work work out original material and to get quite tight as a live performing group.
These original songs were recorded straight off the board of live shows at Zapp’s. Our sound guys, Dave and Peter, would record every night’s performance, which really turned out to be really great because Dave kept all of the recordings. We had a great time playing that venue and we always had a packed house of people coming out to check us out, and we hope that you enjoy these recordings!
