FHS 200 – The Teenage Prayers

July 22nd, 2009

The Teenage Prayers on Band in Boston

Well here we are, at just about 3 years into this crazy thing, and we’ve hit 200 Flophouse Sessions. To celebrate, we’re putting out a new session from The Teenage Prayers, who may very well be the most fun band that NYC has to offer. They’re playing at PA’s this Friday.

Session #200 also kicks off something that everyone has asked us for forever: individual tracks! Via our new store (powered by bandcamp.com, which every band should check out right now, and no we don’t get paid to tell you that), you can get each song, separately, as an mp3, aac, flac, ogg, or Apple lossless! Oooooooh. Now get back to your Teenage Prayers!

  2. Troubles
  3. On My Trail

FHS 198 – Yankee Power

July 16th, 2009

Yankee Power on Band in Boston

Yankee Power is a relatively new band, but they quickly gaining fans, and for good reason. Their take on the 60’s/70’s rock quasi-genre is full of surprises, but the one consistent factor is fun. Go out and share the love at PA’s this Friday!

Song List:

  1. She’s Got a Fu Manchu
  2. State of Mind
  3. 56th Between 8th and 9th
  4. Topsfield Affair

FHS 197 – The Lumineers

July 8th, 2009

Wesley Jeremiah in our living room

The Lumineers (formerly Wesley Jeremiah) consists of Brooklynites Wesley, Jeremiah, and in this instance, Jay, and they completely floored us with their ability to engage the infamously stationary Boston crowd when we saw them live. They went on to impress us further in the living room with an amazing range of songs.

Song List:

  1. Morning Song
  2. Don’t Wanna Go
  3. Darlene
  4. Flowers in Your Hair
  5. Life in the City
  6. Gun Song
  7. Scotland
  8. When the Ship Comes In (by Bob Dylan)
  9. Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place) (by Talking Heads)
  10. Classy Girls Don’t Kiss in Bars
  11. Red Hands
