SF PUNK -- POST PUNK -- SLUDGE -- NOISE -- HEAVY PUNK -- "FLIPPER STILL RULES, OKAY?"

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-dump of SF punk rock/ noise/ sludge/ post-punk band, FLIPPER, playing a gig somewhere in the Bay Area, CA (more than likely), c. 1981. 📸: "Toyranch" (via Flickr).

THE QUIETUS: "Going back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, I’ve long held the thought that rather than “just” being a punk band, FLIPPER offered up a strange new strain of punk psychedelia. You emanated it despite not being traditionally psychedelic."

STEVE DEPACE (drummer): "I agree with you. I would say that there’s elements of various different things and styles within FLIPPER, which ultimately leads to that. It’s been said that we’re part art performance, part art rock, noise rock, art noise, punk rock, grunge – all of those things. But we just kind of are what we are. It may change a bit here and there with different people in the band and different incarnations, but there’s a basic element that remains the same. We tend to stand out, you know?"
