| The Fleshtones' Live At Yep Roc 15 captures Peter Zaremba and crew tearing through the faves in Carrboro, NC back in 2012. |
Here's the scoop...
In 2012, Yep Roc Records celebrated its 15th anniversary with a festival called YR15. Over the course of 4 raucous days and nights, 26 artists performed for Yep Roc fans from around the world at the legendary Cat's Cradle and other venues around Chapel Hill and Carrboro, North Carolina.
The Fleshtones performed on Wednesday, October 10th at the famous Carrboro garage rock club, Local 506. The Fleshtones gave an unforgettable career-spanning set of their own hits from the 1980s to the modern era. They also performed SuperRock™ covers of The Beatles ("Day Tripper"), The Guess Who ("It's My Pride", Chris Montez ("Some Kinda Fun") and more! Robert Cooper recorded it, the celebrated Chris Stamey mixed it and Mike Westbrook mastered 20 tracks for digital release as The Fleshtones Live At Yep Roc 15 and it's currently available via Bandcamp right here.
Incidentally, while The Fleshtones were in Carrboro back in 2012, they met up with their pal Mary Huff of Southern Culture on the Skids and recorded a couple of tracks at Rick Miller's studio. Two of the songs, "For A Smile" and "Everywhere Is Nowhere" wound up on a collaborative single which you can hear below. Seems like Yep Roc should put out an entire Mary Huff and The Fleshtones album.
