The Flophouse Sessions 93 - Township

February 27th, 2008

Township comes back to lay down some brand new tunes, both from their album that you can buy at their CD release party this Friday at TT’s, and some that are even newer than that. This also marks our debut on thephoenix.tv! We’ve teamed up with the Boston Phoenix to start putting some of these things out in an eye-friendly format. So go and watch a song or two over there, and listen to the whole thing right here where it’s warm and safe.

Song list:

Jen was too busy having fun to write down the song names. But there’s Winter Song, Sandy, and a bunch of others.

The Flophouse Sessions 92 - Mean Creek

February 24th, 2008

Mean Creek

Mean Creek was a side project of Chris and Aurora from Age Rings, but has grown to be a force to be reckoned with in its own right. Here they are from over a year ago when these songs were just peeking out from the soil. They play with The Dead Trees at O’Brien’s this Wednesday.

Song List:

  1. Hands Behind our Heads
  2. Momentary
  3. Around the Bend
  4. To Never Again
  5. Money Makes Me Sad

The Flophouse Sessions 91 - The Motion Sick

February 24th, 2008

The Motion Sick

These guys remind me a bit of Sprites or Of Montreal - quirky tongue-in-cheek songs about love lost and the Konami Code. They’re headlining Church this Wednesday. This session was recorded back when we were in our infancy - the mini mini drumkit was in full effect and we only had a 5 channel mixing board. So cut us a break on the mix, and enjoy the tunes!

Song List:

  1. Satellite
  2. Pre-existing Condition
  3. Thirty Lives
  4. God Hates Kansas
  5. The Day After
  6. Grace Kelly

The Dead Trees

The Dead Trees rose from the ashes of Furvis about a year ago. Since then, they’ve toured with Albert Hammond Jr from the Strokes and moved to Oregon. They’re back in town this Wednesday at O’Brien’s, so show them some true hometown love, and rock your face off in the process.

Song List:

  1. I Have, I Want
  2. Shelter
  3. Killer in Me
  4. Fell Down on the Train
  5. I Kinda Need It
  6. Have Fun (by The Secret Bush)

Pretend you were there by looking at the Dead Trees Flickr photo set while you listen!
