It is always a party  with Paul Kype and Texas Flood.

 I arrived at their packed, March 11 show at the Slice, just in time for them to take an extended set break.

 The Slice was full  with the patrons of two birthday parties for which the popular blues rockers were pleased to provide the soundtrack.

 Paul Kype and Texas Flood including  Kype on guitar and vocals, Greg Gomola trading guitar leads as well as lead vocals with him, drummer Brad Valgardson and bassist Craig Erdmann, played a solid second set which opened with  a cover of the Black Keys’ “Lonely Boy.”

 Kype’s wife Jenn Pellerin joined the band on stage to sing “I Just Want to Make Love To You,” and a haunting cover of Four Non Blonde’s “What‘s Going On.”
