When Kurt Cobain wore a handmade Flipper t-shirt in a Nirvana photo, the '80s San Francisco punk band obtained a level of minor celebrity it had purposefully avoided in its prime. Spewing club-footed riffs and calculated obnoxiousness, Flipper were the slower, Stooges-obsessed cousins of scene firebrands Dead Kennedys. Even after the death of original singer Will Shatter, the reformed band still lurches out the "hits" and courts disappointment. At this in-store appearance, the surviving members celebrate the good-old days of being bad — as captured on the newly re-released DVD of their VHS document Live Target Video 1980-81.
