THE POSIES - Live in 1993 | FLAVOR OF THE MONTH, BLACK NIGHT, I AM THE COSMOS on 2 Meter Sessions

The Posies were one of the most popular power pop bands of the '90s; along with other revivalists like Matthew Sweet and Teenage Fanclub, they helped update the classic power pop sound for the alternative age, marrying bright, British Invasion-style melodies and harmonies to loud, grungy guitars and quirky lyrics. Centered around the partnership of guitarists, vocalists, and songwriters Jonathan Auer and Ken Stringfellow, the Posies made a splash in the power pop underground with their home-recorded debut, 1988's Failure. The ornate, polished sound of their major-label debut, 1990's Dear 23, gave way to a tougher, more guitar-based style on 1993's Frosting on the Beater and 1996's Amazing Disgrace. While the Posies broke up in 1998 and both and went on to solo careers, the pair revived the Posies throughout the 2000s for albums and live work, eventually making their way to a 30th Anniversary tour in 2018. The Posies visited Dutch TV show 2 Meter Sessies on November 1, 1993 and performed the following songs: 00:00 Flavor Of The Month 02:55 Black Night (Deep Purple) 04:00 I Am The Cosmos (Chris Bell) 07:57 Burn & Shine • Subscribe to our Youtube-channel for more unique music sessions: https://bit.ly/2OX4S8t • Playlist with over 150 well-known 2 Meter Sessions clips since 1993: https://bit.ly/38fbO9I • Listen to 2 Meter Sessions on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39vt6iS ===================== About 2 Meter Sessions ==================== Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world. Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993). The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands. • Subscribe to our Youtube-channel for more unique music sessions: https://bit.ly/2OX4S8t • Playlist with over 150 well-known 2 Meter Sessions clips since 1993: https://bit.ly/38fbO9I • Listen to 2 Meter Sessions on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39vt6iS • http://www.2metersessies.nl • http://www.instagram.com/2metersessions • http://www.facebook.com/2metersessies === #ThePosies #90smusic
