Flagrant Orange - Erosion Album Release Party!

Are you all ready for this?!?

Flagrant Orange invites you to hear songs from their second album LIVE! at the Barrel Room.

"Erosion" is Flagrant Orange's follow up to their 2021 release of "The Stories that I Still Believe".

Remember when an album told a story and the songs were masterfully woven together into a fluid piece of music? Erosion is a tribute to that era. Ten songs that describe the ups and downs, the beginnings and the endings, and the ever present angst and desire that characterize our romantic relationships. Ten songs that feel like one journey of connection, loss, grief and love.

The band will be playing individual songs from the album just to whet your appetite. So be ready to grab your own copy of the full album on CD to hear how they move and flow together.

Bring your friends and get your tickets now!
