A message from the artist:
Flipper must unfortunately postpone most of the US tour dates recently announced, featuring Fletcher Shears as a guest vocalist. Founding guitarist Ted Falconi has recently been experiencing symptoms that caused him to seek medical attention. We believe that in the next several weeks these issues will be sorted out and Ted will be able to get out and perform on stage once again. However in the short term Ted’s doctors recommend cancelling these tour dates, so as not to take a chance on his condition worsening while away from home!
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes the promoters/venues and fans. We know a lot goes into planning and promoting a show. This situation, unfortunately cannot be helped and we do hope to reschedule these shows in LA and on the East Coast as soon as possible.***

As of 2022, Flipper will be getting out to play shows and tour “Till the Wheels fall off.” The world is ready to get back to live music so it’s time to get back out in the world. Flipper will be out making new friends and rekindling old friendships with guest vocalists and musicians along the way. First up at bat is Fletcher Shears of The Garden, who Flipper shared the stage with at The Fonda Theatre last December. In total, there will be 6 shows as planned at this time with Fletcher. Flipper will be announcing future shows and tours currently in the works with guest singers and musicians that will be part of the “Till the Wheels Fall Off” Flipper World Tour!

INTERCOURSE
Renowned for incendiary live shows and ferocious stage presence, Intercourse carve a singular niche within New England’s outsider hardcore scene. Founded in 2014 by vocalist Tarek Ahmed, a self-titled EP soon followed, establishing a steady stream of releases punctuated by 2016's Pissing into the Abyss EP and 2017’s split release with North Carolina’s The Asound. 2018’s debut lp Everything is Pornography When You've Got an Imagination and 2019’s Bum Wine 7” (both on Constant Disappointment Records) saw the band further expanding their reach by venturing out across New England and the Mid-Atlantic through to North Carolina, selling out multiple vinyl pressings in the process.
Though previously beset upon with fluctuating lineups (no doubt folding under the weight of the madness), Ahmed and longtime drummer Caleb Porter mined opportunity from within the inertia of 2020’s pandemic, concluding the year with both a decisive incarnation and sophomore record Rule 36. Engineered and produced at Dead Man’s Blade Studio with Ryan Pelegano (Posture and the Grizzly, Double Gainer) at the helm, the 9 tracks contained herein see Ahmed’s cynically unhinged vocals bolstered by guitarist Sean Prior’s unholy squall, Porter’s pummeling onslaught, and bassist Pete Stroczkowski’s molten sludge. The group blister through apocalyptic landscapes of fetishistic surgeons, reptilian onanists, and belligerent MAGA bros at the speed and heft of a bullet train collision, stopping only once the cacophonous feedback of closer ‘Pagliacci Was Ahead Of His Time’ sputters out from the weight of Ahmed’s screams of unfettered grief and self-destruction.
Poised for a return to the stage and an opportunity to once again unleash their particular brand of caterwaul unto live audiences everywhere, Intercourse offer up Rule 36 in the interim. The time until then will be no doubt spent doing what comes naturally to the band: preparing the next barrage of sonic assault.
