@oberoniaomnia saw Flipper many times "back in the day." They were regulars at a lot of the Mabuhay Gardens shows. Was never a big fan but respected their originality, etc. Remember seeing them and Bruce Loose got hit in the face with a full can of beer, and did not even flinch. Did not even blink. Not cool someone threw it but pretty impressed how Bruce handled it. Cool logo as well Yes, know both RP and DK, have some of their stuff on vinyl as well. Like them both! |
If you’re looking for melodic riffs, etc, here’s some stuff

@johnnotkathi - Hi - I've lived in San Francisco since 1973 and was a regular denizen of the Mab (I started going in late '76 when Jerry Paulsen was still the promoter of punk gigs there a couple nights a week), and have known Jello since he first moved to SF. I also used to shoot concert photos at venues from the Mab to Oakland Stadium. Which band were you in? I may have seen you.... |
@larsman Hey! I lived as a kid in Sunnyvale and went to college at Sonoma State. Got into the scene in high school, about '77. Out of 2,000 kids, there were 3 of us into punk. LOL. My band is Tower of Swine. Played a ton up in Sonoma County (with the likes of Victims Family, etc) and gigs in SF and the south bay. |
