FLIPPER - R.I.P. Bruce Loose Calderwood Tribute Post


REPOST and ADD ON:  R.I.P. Bruce Loose Calderwood and of course prior R.I.P. to Will Shatter.  I remember the first time I heard Flipper was Ha Ha Ha on the Maximum Rock And Roll Radio show I listened to in 8th grade or so but was presented to me by a friend in school as a band 'who tries to play as badly as possible" and at that point I was a fan fanatic for life!  My main submission to the DU blog I remember was Mark Undergound's 2000th post when I ripped my CD of Sex Bomb Baby! which I began the studio portion with here.  Then I sent in the Blowin' Chunks CD I had(actually had the cassette release first with less tracks and finally sent to Mark the Live In Berkeley 81 CD as well as a couple of live DVD/VHS conversions I did and some old youtube band videos.  I combined the old post for Bruce's solo 7 and added one I had not heard--the Fleshapoids 7.  I was friends a number of years on Meta with Bruce.  I'll try to list what is included:  Sex Bomb Baby! CD 83 w Generic Flipper CD 84 w Gone Fishin' CD 82 w American Grafishy CD 93 w Love CD 09 w Demo bootleg CD 82 w Blowin' Chunks ROIR CD 84 w Live Berkeley CD 81 w On Broadway San Fran CA 2-6-82 w Nurnberg Fish Trials CD 92 w CBGB's Live 97.  A truly unique music creator...FLIPPER RULES (and continues).

I have a tape copy of this that Steve DePace made for me in trade for a Fuckboyz 7" way back in 1991.

Definately the wildest show i have been at. The only show i have been with my then-girlfriend and wished not to. The group fought on stage and in the pit. The bass player fell on stage and didn't missed a note. Flipper is existential noise. The group that loves to hate.

Yes nice stories.
I wish I remembered more from some of the concerts I went to.
Dreadfully I was usually too drunken and drugged up most of the time :(

Huh?Never?You must be joking.Right?

I did so many different drugs and drank myself silly.
The only things I would never do were needles.No needles.No heroin.

When I had my band "Sacrosanct" we were all on crack cocaine.It made us play faster,more intense.The only one that didn't partake in the crack was Frank.Frank now plays bass in "Obituary".
Maybe we shouldn't have smoked crack and we all would have been superstars lol.
Ah well,a great learning lesson! ;)

Thank you so much for this album! I saw this on vinyl, once, never bought it because it was quite pricey and I lived to regret ever since.

Again, thank you for this, you are a star.
