Nirvana bassist joins Flipper on UK tourdates
Posted:
Former Nirvana bass player Krist Novoselic (pictured, centre) - he was in Sweet 75 post-Nirvana, but let's not kid ourselves that they're worth remembering - is to tour with reformed San Francisco-based punks Flipper in December.
Flipper - Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain was a famous fan - formed back in 1979; they originally split in 1988 when bassist Will Shatter died, but have been together, on and off, in different line-ups since 1990.
The Novoselic-featuring line-up is expected to record a new album next year. In the meantime, the band call at...
December
11 London Scala
13 Manchester Academy 3
14 Glasgow Garage
15 Belfast Lavery's
16 Dublin The Village
17 Galway Roisin Dubh
The quartet also play ATP's Nightmare Before Christmas on the second weekend of December - link.

Will Shatter, eh?
I really should've got the pun before I thought it was actually William Shatner
-
FLIPPER!!!!!!
I'd give my left testi to be at the dec 11th gig, but alas, i am not here :(
-
Riight!
Quite tempted to go to this... especially now knowing that flipper are playing the manchester date with the Melvins. Ace.
-
I was told
they where supporting the melvins for the 11th dec gig as well?! or am i completely off the mark? again.
-
I dunno....
....would be neat-o.
-
Yeah..
They are definately playing the scala with melvins, I just wasnt sure about the rest of the tour.. but I think its pretty much melvins/flipper over the UK this december. Nice.
-
Apparently so
Which would be nice.

oh-oh
rrrr...
This is one of my favourite bands and, since they've done some terrible covers of Metalica, NOFX and Weezer and little else in the last 10 years, a bit worrying,.
I hope they can stear themselves back with real ears, but thoughts turn images of desperate middle age men trying to rouse the punka kids one last time, blinded by the words "we're legends and timeless, this is what dreams are made of" flashing in their far off aging eyes as they slush through another empty old song. -
I posted this...
on the 13th

Kris is going to have his work cut out to follow Bruno.
I just shot them recently, and it was very good - all the old songs, including some they haven't played in years.

Odd vibe at the gig. Currently importing photos. I'll post a link when I get a gallery up.
