The Flophouse Sessions 76 - The Resurrectionists

September 13th, 2007

The Resurrectionists

I think this was the fastest turnaround we’ve pulled off.  The Resurrectionists came in 5 days ago, and somehow we managed to mix it down and get it out there. I think you’ll be quite happy with the results. They’re playing this Friday, the 14th, at The Midway Cafe in JP. So be there!

Song List:

  1. The Pilgrim
  2. Picher, OK
  3. Jersey Devil
  4. Old Pale Face Goes to the Theater
  5. Two Hopes Rundown Paper Shack
  6. Leif Hillman

The Flophouse Sessions 75 - The Dead Trees

September 3rd, 2007

The Dead Trees

Mike Cummings from The Dead Trees stopped in just before hitting the road with his band to open up for Albert Hammond Jr. (from The Strokes). If you missed that, you totally blew it. Luckily, you’ve got a second chance right now. Oh, and featuring the keyboard stylings of Andy. Sure, it’s only one note, but that’s going on the resume.

Song List:

  1. Television
  2. Let Me Sleep
  3. My Funny Footnote
  4. Me Too
  5. Tame Them
