About Me

Hey there! You are looking at the Myspace of Flipside! Flipside is a Falmouth, MA based duo, featuring Melissa Roberts Weidman on Bass/
lead vocals, and Chris LoCascio on Piano and vocals

We do lots of interesting originals as well as quirky takes on out-of-the-ordinary covers. Strong vocals, stunning piano, cooking bass and surprising arrangements bring blazing sparks of originality and fun!

The Essence of Recording

Working on our recording again at our Falmouth studio - so hard to keep all the balls in the air so that the new "Flipside" CD keeps moving along. It's been at least a solid year we've been working o...

Is Music Alive?

Last night we rehearsed a bunch of our original songs we hadn't played in a while. Now these are songs we wrote ourselves over several years, but it was like we were coming to them from a whole new pe...

The Simplicity of Two Instruments

Played last Wednesday night at our usual spot, but without our percussionist, just bass and keyboard. The clubowner has reconfigured the stage so it's now a challenge to fit any drums in. It's been a ...

Bubble Gig

It's 3:30 in the morning and I'm just getting in bed after playing a rollicking night of dance music for a lively crowd of local fifty-somethings. They were all dressed up in their retro tie-dyed best...

Another take

Went to our drummer's house last night after work to lay down a track on "Half Empty Glass Blues". It took nearly two hours just to get all the equipment set up and fine tuned. It's amazing what a pai...
