San Francisco, United States (1979 – present)
They made their first recordings available in late 1979 via the SF Underground 7” compilation series released via Steve Tupper’s newly-formed Subterranean Records. In 1981 a 7” followed
Flipper’s music was very shambolic and noisy, and oft considered “slow” for a punk band of the time. In many early shows, the band had half the audience on stage with them singing backup vocals, and encouraged horn players to join them for their anthem,
Bassist/vocalist Will Shatter died in 1987 of a heroin overdose. The remaining members reformed for the 1993 album American Grafishy on Def American Recordings which re-issued Generic, and a compilation called Sex Bomb Baby on Rick Rubin and Henry Rollins’ Infinite Zero label. This relationship soured and the surviving Flipper members allegedly were duped out of their rights to their back catalog.
