Really it's only about 12 minutes long, but Free Energy has a trilogy they call a "Power Hour" featuring shorts skits based primarily around their songs and I'm presuming inside jokes. Or rather, it feels like an inside joke because, uh, I don't get it. Kind of like Tim and Eric , because I don't get that shit either. Either way! You can watch the three episodes – one on YouTube because embedding was disabled – below and find treasures like tour dates right after this paragraph and a player for [...]

Everyone should love Paul Sprangers. If you don't, you either haven't seen Free Energy live yet, or you're a miserable human being. The lanky Midwestern frontman knows how to party. Not in the Andrew W.K. way, but in the way that makes rock 'n' roll so accessible. He doesn't try to be Springsteen. He's not "bleeding his heart out" like every other songwriter who refuses to work. Nope. He's just a long haired dude looking to have a fun night. He's the cool older brother, the schoolmate who fixes your locker door, and the next door neighbor who teaches you [...]
Every week I say it's a stacked week. Every week I say that there's just no way to fit everything in one little recap post. Well, this time I actually mean it this time. And if you've taken a look at our site recently, you'll see what I mean. And even if you haven't the sheer size of the following round-up of music-related events will surely give you the right impression. We'll see you at the same time, same place, next week, provided you haven't slipped into a food-induced coma by then. - [...]
Psychedelic, modern, weird, catchy, and how can a remix from Fool's Gold ever be bad are the first thoughts that came to mind. I'm head over heels for this track. It is a must download. Cheers. -lev Bang Pop (Fool's Gold Remix) - Free Energy
Hollerado ::: photo by Brittney Bush Bollay The Crocodile was indisputably Party Central last Thursday as two of the most energetic and purely joyful bands in powerpop shared a bill and sometimes a stage. Up first was Canada's Hollerado, whose musical talent is matched by their sense of play. Those in the crowd who weren't drawn in [...]
RFC lovers and friends are no stranger to Free Energy . On the road for what seems like forever, they're making the rounds through Chicago this Friday night at Lincoln Hall , and they're bringing Hollerado with them. Those unaquainted with Free Energy should come out and revel in the throwback dude rock thats melting the minds and hearts of youth worldwide. Japan, China, and France are a few of the countries Free Energy has invaded as of late. We're grateful to have them back on [...]
When I first saw Free Energy back in July, they were busy opening up Saturday at Pitchfork Music Festival . Not 30 seconds in, I noted that they sounded like headliners. After their show at The Metro , Mr. Roffman mentioned that they were "acting less like a third billing host and moreover like rock gods from the '70s." They're fast shedding the skin of a debut band, already playing like they've been around for, well, decades. After the interview, I mentioned to Paul Sprangers that I hardly even see Free Energy as a new [...]
Catchy tune off Philadelphia based power pop group Free Energy's debut album. The album was produced by LCD Soundsystem producer James Murphy.
I'm a little ashamed of my fellow Portland residents for failing to show up to the Doug Fir Wednesday night. We've all been watching those ominously dark clouds roll in, and are fully aware they'll soon be beating down on so many people's happiness. And that's why it's so necessary for us to jump at every opportunity that will fill our minds with sunshine. The tour that brought Free Energy to town this week was one of those opportune moments, and yet only a couple dozen people filed in to bask in it. [...]

I thought originally the eponymously named single from Philadelphia rockers Free Energy was fantastic to begin with. Fast forward a few months and our Boston band, Bodega Girls remix it, flip the world over, and I'm totally in love with it. Check the unofficial video above, and if you dig it, you can download it here. Free Energy - Free Energy (Bodega Girls Remix) Bodega Girls Website
Our friends Free Energy just dropped Episode 2 of the "Free Energy Power Hour," a tour de force of silly rock antics and interviews with the band hosted by Donny Smeads of the Donny Smeads Show. In case you missed episode one, you can watch it here . The band begins a tour through December that brings them back to Philly on November 27th at the TLA.
New Music Right Now Someone You Should Know So the world turns on its axis. Without looking, yeah... this shit you knew. But to be fair, there's a pretty good chance you didn't know that Bodega Girls are behind it all. Yeah, I realize none of this makes sense. All you need to know is [...]

Wait, so Weezer playing the Blue Album or Pinkerton in their entirety plus a handful of other hits isn't enough to make a concert worth going to? Then these supporting acts should make the ticket worth the price. Rivers Cuomo announced on the Weezer forum page on Friday that Best Coast and Free Energy will be the opening bands for a few nights each on the forthcoming "Blinkerton/Memories" Tour . Best Coast, with whom Rivers is said to be working on a track for an [...]
Spin magazine is bringing Free Energy and Foxy Shazam to the Doug Fir stage on Nov. 10, and it's set to taste a lot like a summer cocktail in 1977. Free Energy's sunny guitar rock feels like renovated AM radio from decades ago, and their joyful and dancey style makes ya just wanna jump up and kiss somebody. Two members of the group, singer Paul Sprangers and guitarist Scott Wells, are shaking free of their work with Hockey Night, a band who definitely took more of a Pavement-like approach with their rock [...]
It may seem a bit early to start thinking about the holiday season, since we've barely even made it to Halloween, but believe it or Hannukah is right around the corner - with it set to begin on the night of December 1. As become tradition, Matisyahu will once again celebrate the eight crazy nights with his annual Festival Of Lights , which is now in its fifth year. The Hasidic reggae superstar is changing things up a bit as he will take the show on road, hitting six cities for a total of nine [...]
