The Flops

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Flops were a collaboration of John Munson (of Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare) and Matt Wilson (frontman of Trip Shakespeare).

They played several shows (mostly in Minneapolis) between 2001 and 2005. They covered material from the Trip Shakespeare days, Matt's solo efforts (Matt's 1998 CD, "Burnt, White, and Blue") and some new tunes as well. They announced in their farewell show (Feb 18, 2005) that they would be returning in the fall with a new band in full rock mode, but that they would be "leaving all their best songs behind".

In late spring of 2005, John Munson began playing in a new trio, "The New Standards" Featuring Chan Poling (of The Suburbs) and Steve Roehm.
