While we admire and respect the lengths to which some bands will go to advertise themselves and the songs they perform, this is where we part company. After all, if we all did EXACTLY the same thing, what would be the point, right?
Most bands will publicize their entire song list; you can visit their website, check out their enormous list of songs that they play, find a few that you really like, actually go to the show, and be thoroughly disappointed when you don't hear THAT song because they chose not to play it on that night.
Bummer.
We're choosing to take a slightly different approach here; we'll list the artists that we regularly cover, and you can then guess for yourselves what songs we MIGHT play on any given night. We will point out, however, that our set lists change from show to show to reflect not only our learning new material but also our intention to steer our song lists to better fit the venue at which we are performing. Also, there are some of you who may be visiting this site for the first time and who have never seen us perform live; there are some songs that we have to keep "under wraps" so that we don't spoil the surprise!

What? You can't seem to find an artist that you think you would like to hear us cover at one of our upcoming shows? Read on...
So, you've read the Artist List, listened to our Audio Track, and even seen us live... and you STILL haven't heard that one particular song that you really want us to play? Maybe you've heard something on the radio and thought, "I bet FlipSide could really play the HELL out of that tune!" Well, this is your opportunity...
We don't take (many) requests at our shows because... well, just because. We do, however, take them here.
Feel free to mention a specific song or artist that you would like to hear us cover, and we'll do our best to work on these and get something into the set list for the next show (or maybe the show after that). Please keep in mind that it's just the two of us - as confident as we are in our abilities, it very difficult for us to handle songs that feature heavy drums, keyboards, etc. We won't make any guarantees that we'll actually be able to learn EVERY request, but if they fit in with our musical style and current format we'll certainly give it our full consideration.
