FLIPPER OPV

Only got to see them as the Novoselic line up back in '06.
But been on FB with the members so interesting to see what they take stands on politically/philosophically etc.
Not as nihilistic as the songs might imply.

First saw em around 1982 in DC. Recall a fair amount of sneering comments about DC hardcore between songs.

I have seen the Flipper/Yow set-up twice now. Pretty fun, the band sounds good and chunky and Yow hams it up.

Was at that Baltimore show and during the first song he jumped into the crowd and sang most of it from there. For a couple seconds directly into a girl’s face and she... did not seem to appreciate it. Like she was going through a nervous/personal thing at the moment and that amplified it significantly. I don’t think think there was much thought/awareness on Yow’s part, but she seemed shaken and weepy afterwards and it kinda made me think a lot of stuff unexpectedly for the first 15 mins of the show.

I was standing against back wall and didn’t see that. It didn’t look like a woman he tried to get to sing along in the balcony later, appreciated his putting the mic to her. Although a couple of women chose to jump on stage at one point( their choice).
