The Real Flower Pots
Oleada Indie
"The Real Flower Pots is a
collaborative project created in
2024 by Patrick Meagher and
Johnny Marie, who combine their
unfinished songs to shape them
without genre boundaries. They
use a wide variety of real
instruments such as cello,
mandolin, and xylophone, creating
an eclectic and textured sound.
Influenced by classical and
contemporary artists such as The
Beatles, Radiohead, Joni Mitchell,
and The Smiths, their music blends
rock, indie, and experimental
elements, giving life to their own
authentic style."
Vinyl Vault
Johnny Marie and Patrick Meagher
now host a weekly feature called
"Vinyl Vault" on Chris RedJam's
show "SoundCheck on
KDUB and Deal Radio.
Every week we will play a song and babble
about it afterwards.
Wax Vinyl Records
"The track showcases a subtle
bass and drums backing, layered
with organs, recorders, and
descending patterns, along with
gentle piano flourishes. As the
vocals enter, the arrangement
evolves into a confident groove,
supported byrich backing vocals
that enhance its majesticquality.
The dynamic shifts in pace and
mood allow the song's intricate
structure to shine."
American Pancake
"The Real Flower Pots and the
austere/audacious art rock
atmospheres of "Pigeon Falls"
will take you on a bold dream
while listening to lovely vocals
telling stories behind the green
curtain. Lovely stuff."
Mike Mineo
"A stirringly hypnotic rock sound
glows onThe Real Flower Pots'
"Storm Shelter,"enthralling in its
absorbing vocal harmonies and
an array of intriguing
instrumentation - from twangy lap
steel shimmering to illuminated
keys. "
American Pancake
"The free falling bending realities
of "Storm Shelter" by Kansas
City,Missouri's The Real Flower
Pots, the pretty much brand new
project Girl for Samson band
mates Patrick Meagher
& Johnny Marie, is so comely
that it feels like an introduction to
a film, the kind of song that you
listen to with an audience in a
dark theater amped up to
escape for awhile."

"Ethereal soundscapes put to an
Eastern European waltz. Good
melodic singing, almost chilling,
but warm at the same time. Very
European in approach."

Girl for Samson
Poppy Bristow
(Fresh on the Net)
"Psychedelic-indie trio Girl for
Samson may hail from Kansas City,
but press play on Cigarette and its
funky bass, baggy-beat percussion,
and Inspiral Carpets organ accents
will fire you straight through a
wormhole to 90s Manchester or
Liverpool. In its synthesis of
cool-cat detachment and oracular
yearning, the lead vocal recalls the
pleasing retro-pop tang of La's
frontman Lee Mavers, a comparison
matched by the track's gleaming
popcraft.
Cigarette is carved from clattering,
grooving instrumentation which the
impeccable production clips into a
crisp and catchy shape, giving every
part a chance to shine rather than
clumping it all together in a foggy
purple haze. Girl for Samson's fifth
album, Blend all the Seasons, is
due out at the beginning of 2025.
What a way to start a year!"

"Kansas City, Missouri based
Girl for Samson and the cagey,
dreamy indie rock sonic indie film
"You Better Run" runs on evocative
vox and surfy western noir sonic
atmospheres."
