Band In Boston

As promised, it’s Diamond Sharp, from Portland Maine! They stopped by a looong time ago with Impossible Hair, and by the time we got around to mixing their session, they had broken up. I hate it when that happens.  We’ve grieved long enough. Let’s remember the good times we had. Song List: I Got Love […]

Impossible Hair (from Maryland) stopped in many moons ago while on tour with Diamond Sharp (guess who’s session is tomorrow!), and they both did very quick sessions. Fair warning: don’t let them lull to into a false sense of relaxation with the opening song. Song List: Streets of Laredo The Dog Kettles Sister Hand Tambourines […]

Argh. No time to write a clever intro. We knew it would be tough to get this many out!!! Relay – awesome. You listen. Song List: Safe Driver Season Start Project for the Palace Contact

Ryan came in for a second session on a hot day in August, 2007. We left the windows open, so you can hear the occasional car, plane, or child passing by. I feel warmer just listening to this. He is hosting two nights in a row at PA’s Lounge this Friday and Saturday. Song List: […]

When we first started the Flophouse Sessions, we decided to hold on to sessions until the band was back in town. This is why we’re not doing that any more. Jacob came by over TWO YEARS ago during his tour with Deer Tick, who sits in on a few tunes here. Although he has been […]

BOAT is a band from Seattle that sailed their way over a few weeks back. Get it? And they gave us a new theme song. I think we just might use it. Song List: Band in Boston Train By Train Quickly and Quietly Holding All of the Globes Lobsters and Snakes Four Beds for Boat […]

We’ve kicked off the Flophouse Session-a-Day plan. And somehow we still found time to do a regular show. Featuring El May, Caithlin De Marrais, The Strange Boys, Darker My Love, Viva Viva, Exit Clov, The Postelles, Dean and Britta, The Big Disappointments, Faces on Film, Gunfight!, M.G. Lederman, Tony the Bookie, The Needy Visions, and […]

Get ready for a month of a bazillion Flophouse Sessions! Starting it off… It seems like everyone’s been talking about Doomstar lately. Now you can too. I initially referred to them as a “math rock Flaming Lips.” But they’re really just so much more. They’re playing December 7th at the Milky Way. Song List: Helicopter […]

Cory stopped by during his East Coast tour a few weeks ago. He’s pretty much exactly what a singer-songwriter should be. Song List: The Tall Green Grass Ballad of a Bad Man Yesterday (Circa 88) Survivor Blues The Corner Sour Mash

We’re back. Again. Thus the title. Featuring TAB the Band, Tristan De Cunha, Tony the Bookie, Muy Cansado, The Rosewood Thieves, Vikesh Kapoor, Pale Young Gentlemen, One For The Team, Age Rings, Apollo Sunshine, and Tulsa.

That’s right, Township is back! They did our very first live video Flophouse Session. We forgot to record the video, but here’s the audio. And that’s what really matters, right? Their CD Release Party is TONIGHT at Great Scott! Let’s be there.

These United States stopped by a few months back, while they were doing an interesting tour – I can’t quite explain the concept, suffice it to say, they used most of the random instruments that we have laying around here for the first time. That includes a Guitar Hero guitar, a very poorly tuned autoharp, […]

We totally blew it when we wanted to post this before. But the guys are back on the road, so here it is. Well worth the wait.

These guys (and gals) are quickly getting a lot of deserved great press. I dare you not to smile while listening. They’re playing at our residency at PA’s on Saturday, the big finale! Song List: Sophia Sucker Punch It’s All Gonna Be OK Radio Flyer I’m Sticking With You (Velvet Underground cover) BK Makes it […]

TW Walsh from Pedro the Lion has a relatively new project that you are going to love. We sure do. That’s why they’re headlining the final night of our residency on Saturday! Defending the Paint The Pitch Pawn Shop Guns Build Me A Ballpark Don’t Sweat It Brand New Name Let It Be Family of […]

Mikey, from Mean Creek and Movers and Shakers, steps to the lead role. He came in with Marc from Township and Erik from Polarbaron. You KNOW this is about to be good. They’re playing tonight at our residency at PA’s! Song List: Nine Thirteen Moving South Sound Waves Running Back to You Silly Love (Daniel […]

The Painted Lights open up the night tonight at PA’s Lounge. It’s our yearly residency, you know. Song List: Boring Kind Wind Jason Where and When I End Giving Up the Rest Backburner Just Might Get Mme Covet

Akudama stopped in for their session on Andy’s birthday. What a present it was. Find out why they are one of our new favorite bands. And see them at PA’s on Thursday night! Song List: Dishes Love I Will Be Glad Out Again Seabreeze Social Johnny Appleseed Tell Her No (Zombies cover)

We liked Ryan so much that we had him back a few weeks later for another session. This is the first one. He’s playing tonight at PA’s for our big big residency! Song list: Old Lovers Rain These Days (Jackson Brown cover) Obey Me Angela Carry Me Away Belief in Me and You Big Take […]

Mr. Sister is one Amelia Bradley, and Amelia Bradley is one talented lady. She’s playing at our residency tonight. Not sure if she’ll be solo or if she’ll bring someone along, as she did with Mike Fiore from Faces On Film when she stopped in the Flophouse. Song List: Icy Chills Smoking Kites Wisconsin Swollen […]
