Matt Wilson and John Munson have joined in many projects over the years, including Trip Shakespeare. John helped out on Matt’s acclaimed solo record, Burnt, White and Blue, while Matt returned the favor by helping John and his band-mates on Semisonic’s multi-platinum disc Feeling Strangely Fine.

With the Flops, Matt and John carve out a new sound: live, acoustic rock and roll that combines the urgency of punk or gospel with the melodic charm of Big Star or the Beatles. With soaring vocals, guitars, bass, and the occasional harmonica, the Flops are able to lay bare the wit, the sadness, and the unearthliness in Matt’s tremendous catalog of songs.

Ooh La La presents 12 of Matt’s songs plus two covers (the Faces and Alex Chilton), all performed live in Minneapolis bars before audiences as discerning as they are drunk. The songs appear on the audio CD and on the CD-ROM, where they accompany the story
