FLIPPER.

One of San Francisco's greatest musical entities WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Many have tried to conjure the raucous aural ugliness that is Flipper, but there can be only one king, duh!

Here's a wonderful set w/ great sound from a time when they were at their most ferocious; the din they create is sheer beauty, the banter is caustic, and did I mention they were tight as fuck on this night? Yeah...

Flipper - 06.28.1981 The Keystone, Berkeley, CA (KALX Benefit)

(Because I am not a dick I will share with y'alls what I consider to possibly be my favorite Flipper recording.
Leave a comment will ya?
The dialogue around here has dwindled down to nearly nothing lately. Fuckin' leeches man, I tell ya)...

FLIPPER.

If ever there was a band that could emulate the sound of a horrific car accident it would be these guys.
Somehow they controlled their collective inner-chaos at times; long enough to spew forth this caustic-yet-unreleased 1982 session that no true Flipper fan should be without.

UPDATE 04.18.2009:
I forgot to mention that Track 05 gets all glitchy.
I have heard three different versions of this recording and they all have the same fuckup.
If YOU find a non-flawed copy PLEASE send it my way - THANKS.
