Flophouse has been played on NTS shows including The Early Bird Show w/ Jack Rollo, with B4 We Go Under first played on 24 November 2023.

There are at least two bands with the name Flophouse.

The first is a San Francisco band from the early to mid-nineties, who recorded on the Dutch label Brinkman and the US labels Harp and Heyday. The founding member was J.C. Hopkins, joined on the debut by Kim Osterwalder (bass & cello); Clem Off (guitar & mandolin); and J. Micheal Lee on drums along with special guest Peter Case.

On later efforts the lineup was pared down to a trio, featuring Ron Sloan and Tony Rojas. On their records they received help from members of Bettie Serveert and were produced by Frans Hagenaars, who later became one of the founding members of the leading Dutch indie label Excelsior Recordings. Tony Rojas stayed in San Francisco released a solo album, and joined Shotwell. JC Hopkins later relocated to NYC went on to produce Victoria Williams, and work with numerous female singers like Barbara Manning, Madeline Peyroux and Norah Jones.

The second Flophouse is an indie band hailing from London, Canada. They are described as a "British garage rock band, from Canada", drawing influences from mainstream British rock bands like Oasis, the Clash, the Libertines and the Beatles. Despite some low quality garage recordings, they have still recieved minor recognition in Britain from a brief interview in the NME.

Flophouse consists of 4 members - William Sura, Guitar and Vocals; Kevin Hewitt, Guitar, Piano and Vocals; Matt Fenyvesi, Bass Guitar and vocals and percussionist Brent Hebert.
