Blurt Exclusive: Flipper Comes Alive!

06/30/2008

 

Gettin' the party started with Bruce Loose, Krist Novoselic and the rest...

By Fred Mills

 

We got a good 'un for you today, kids: a firsthand report of this weekend's concert by punk legends Flipper -- who currently feature erstwhile Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic on bass -- filed by our roving reporter Gillian G. Gaar.

 

As Gaar deadpans, of Loose's unhinged performance and Flipper's live prowess, "Tthe band has no problem drumming up the intensity of their early days."

 

Read for yourself in our concert section.
