Title: Flipper - Generic Flipper
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1982, Punk, Noise Rock Hardcore Punk, San Francisco, California 9/26
Condition: New (BC) | Members: Flipper (N/A)
Cultural Facts:
-
Vietnam Veteran: Guitarist Ted Falconi was a Vietnam veteran and noticeably older than many musicians in the young San Francisco punk scene. That unusual background helped make Flipper feel disconnected from the teenage speed race happening around them, because they never behaved like they were trying to win punk correctly.
-
Personal Struggle: Bassist and vocalist Will Shatter struggled with heroin addiction and died from an overdose in 1987 at only 31. His death came years before Flipper’s influence became widely acknowledged by the alternative-rock bands that had grown up listening to them.
-
Cobain Connection: Kurt Cobain was such a devoted Flipper fan that he repeatedly wore a crudely handmade Flipper T-shirt during Nirvana’s rise. Millions of young fans suddenly saw the name of a weird San Francisco band that had spent the early 1980s antagonizing audiences by playing slower when crowds demanded faster songs.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
