Krist Novoselic joins FLIPPER

10
Los Angeles 11/15/06 : Flipper has announced the next evolution of the
band which now includes Krist Novoselic (NIrvana). Krist has joined
ranks to fill the bass guitar slot left open by Bruno DeMartis who ended
his stint with the band in September after a year’s worth of shows on
both coasts.

Flipper is planning to rerelease their back catalogue next year which
will include an album’s worth of never before released tracks from the
“Gone Fishin” sessions in 1984. In all, there will be six releases over
the course of 2007. In addition the band will begin writing new
material for a new album which could be ready sometime next year, as
well.

The seminal punk / grunge band kicks off the next chapter in it’s career
with a December tour which includes dates in the US, UK, and Ireland.
The first US dates are on Dec. 1st in Seattle at El Corazon, and Dec.
2nd in Portland at Dante’s. Then it’s across the pond to play the annual
“All Tomorrows Parties” festival with Iggy and the Stooges, Sonic Youth,
and The Melvins. Flipper continues a tour of the UK and Ireland with The
Melvins and Big Business, then wraps it up with a Christmas Gala in San
Francisco at Cafe Du Nord on Dec 20.

The Christmas show will include a screening of “Emerald City”, a
slightly dark comedy which has Santa Claus being shot while in pursuit
of his daughter, who’s been kidnapped by Flipper’s Ted Falconi. The film
also has vintage footage of Flipper and The Mutants.
