[phlipcam video] Kingsley Flood live @ Converse, 348 Newbury St. in the Back Bay

Last night in the Back Bay, rising roots sextet KINGSLEY FLOOD kicked off our new live music series at Converse, which brings in the Phoenix's Mp3 of the Week acts to the second floor of the lifestyle apparel's 348 Newbury Street shop.

The ridiculous rain outside seemed all too appropriate for launching a series with a band that features "flood" in their moniker, but undeterred, the Kingsleys belted out a 30-minute urban Americana set that served as a warm-up for their three-night record-release party stand at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge, which runs tonight through Saturday. 

Check the flipcam footage above, then join us for the next installment of our Converse series in Friday, December 16 at 6pm, when Boston rock quintet LETTERDAY performs selections from their upcoming record, Ready.

All who attend can score 20-percent off their entire purchase at the Converse store from 6 to 8pm.

Good times.
