    FHS 165 – Local Natives

    January 16th, 2009

    Usually, a Flophouse Session takes weeks or months of constant twiddling, tweaking, etc., just to make up for all the mistakes I made when we recorded it. Every once in a while, we get a band that’s just so crazy good (and good for the room) that it all comes together in a few passes, and I feel like Phil Spector (you know, pre-gun toting, afro wig-wearing).  Local Natives are just that kinda band.

    Hailing from the greater LA area, they brought along some of the finest three part harmonies and catchy melodies we’ve ever heard. I highly suggest you crank this one as loud as you can. Singing along is optional, but nearly involuntary. We can’t wait until they come back to Boston.

    Song List:

    1. Airplanes
    2. Only Son
    3. World News
    4. Who Knows, Who Cares?
    5. Warning Sign (by The Talking Heads)
    6. Camera Talk

      So, If you haven’t seen these guys live you are missing out. Matt, the drummer is one of the coolest people on the planet. This band is so down to earth. They are not stuck up. They are really good people. The whole band gives off a good vibe. The are excellent in concert and on CD. But in all honesty, the shows they play will send you into a musical “nirvana” or “orgasm” …. so check them out live….
