Klappy’s Playhouse: Cool Stuff for Cool Peeps

Here you will find audio nuggets found nowhere else. Most are master recordings from live concert broadcast projects in various Reno, Nevada-area venues. We encourage you to fire one up in your cave, along with the lava lamps and neon, and dive into a good game while popping open one of these blasts from the past. ENJOY!
