Flophouse at the Motown Winter Blast Festival

We are pretty excited to be playing the Motown Winter Blast Festival on Sunday, February 14th, 2010. We will be playing from 8pm-9pm. Here's a link for more info

The real cool part of this festival is the celebration of Motown Records. Each band at this festival plays 3 Motown covers. We play Motown covers all the time, so, look out Detroit!  This will be our first show of 2010 with the "Mayor of Bass Town" Shawn may on bass (it's not going to be on tuba) and we are really pleased by the cool sounds we are jamming. Shawn has been laying the bass tracks on our  cd, so, we will be able to play some of the new material. With Mike's touring schedule with Uncle Kracker this might be the only show for the winter. Ron Perry's film company will be there with a couple of cameras to capture the funk-n-roll fury of Flophouse. (I was getting crazy on that last sentence)

Welcome

Thank you for visiting the Official Home of the Funk/Rock Band FlopHouse!

Although physically rooted in Detroit, Flophouse's soulful mix of rock, funk, blues and R&B evokes the great music traditions of Memphis, New Orleans and Chicago. Perhaps it's Flophouse's lead singer Victor Colon, who's smoky yet spirited voice, draws frequent comparisons to the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan. Or drummer Brian “Super B” Smith's unadulterated commitment to “funky groove rock” that has more bodies swaying then Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras..  Finally, there's the polished riffage of guitarist Mike “Hollywood” Adkins (member of Uncle Kracker's touring band) -who masterfully weaves it all together into a spicy, sonic stew.

Flophouse's extraordinary sound has not gone unnoticed. Hand picked from thousands of entries, Flophouse was chosen to perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in Chicago in 2007. Clapton's acclaimed event received massive media coverage in Rolling Stone, VH1, PBS and more. Locally, the band regularly appears at “A List” venues including Robustos Lounge, the Hard Rock Café and the Magic Bag Theatre, in between gracing festival stages across the country. “We play every show as if we are playing a sold out concert at Madison Square Garden …even if it's at Jimmy's Sports Bar and Fish Fry,” explains Super B.

And that's what keeps the fans coming back for more. That, and a guaranteed “booty shaking” experience. Flophouse's funky musical voodoo entices dancers to pack the floor in celebration of a band whose unstoppable grooves also demonstrate a genuine passion for creating music. “We're just four guys who love to make music - and it shows. Our philosophy is simple - make it funky and move the crowd!” affirms Victor Colon.

And that they do; Flophouse's music moves you from the inside out. Currently, in the studio recording their first full length CD, you can get your own taste of Flophouse with their party-inducing EP “Get Loose” (Boiler Room Records), available NOW on CDbaby.com and iTunes!!
