All the confusion behind this bill fits like a bespoke straitjacket. San Francisco’s Flipper always thrived on chaos. Perhaps Earth’s first grunge band, they antagonized early hardcore audiences with a creepy-crawl bump-and-grind performed at punishing volume, occasionally terrorizing punters by locking venue doors and performing “Sex Bomb” for 45 minutes. Minutemen/Stooges bass master Mike Watt joins O.G. Flipperistas Ted Falconi and Steve DePace, while Scratch Acid/Jesus Lizard icon David Yow just slotted in on vocals. Prime ATX hardcore supporting cast of Sumpp, Starving Wolves, Noogy, and Calculated Chaos as well.
