This is one of the bands i'm most eager to see at Fun Fun Fun Fest in a few weeks, but i am apprehensive about a band whose line-ups have been plagued with hard drug overdoses.
A good friend of mine and i used to always listen to the Flipper album Gone Fishin' at his apartment and get super bligged. It wasn't like any other punk we were listening to, but i think it helped us to broaden our horizons.
Of course we all know they were a big influence on Kurt Cobain, so i was intrigued to find out that Krist Novoselic (Nirvana, duh) had filled in and toured with Flipper not that long ago. They even covered "Scentless Apprentice". sick!
I've read that singer Bruce Loose was in a bad car accident a while back and when he (rarely) performs he must use a cane on stage. geez. However this show turns out to be, i'll be glad i finally get to see such influential, sludged -out punk heavyweights.
