Greg Ginn Planning Black Flag Reunion
us with some very cool news. Greg Ginn recently spoke with Mean
Street about both the resurrection of SST
Records and a possible Black Flag reunion. Check out the full interview here. SST's first releases in about six
years will be Ginn projects like the "semi-urban vibes of Mojack and Confront
James, the electronic-based Hor and the straight-ahead punk jams of Fast Gato
(with former ALL frontman Scott Reynolds on vocals)."
On SST:
"Now we have a real solid distributor with Koch and now I feel very
optimistic, because not only do we have a good distributor, but they seem to be
a really solid company and that's going real smooth. So we'll begin
releasing a lot of music this year and have quite a lot of activity. It's real
exciting."On the pending reunion:
"If we took the greed factor out of it and made it for a larger cause, it
could be educational and we could make a bunch of money for a grass-roots cat
rescue programs. Then my attitude could be different, since I've avoided this
for so many years. So now I'm thinking, "Wow, this could be fun." So right
now, we're putting together a show like that. It'll be a Black Flag, first
four years, thing like that."
On the band members:
"Well, as you can imagine, people are in different places with different
schedules, and I've been trying to put this together for the past couple
months and we keep running into scheduling conflicts, so it's kind of up in
the air right now. I want to see who would want to sing with us, and all of the
first four years' singers expressed interest, which is Dez [Cadena], Keith
[Morris] and Ron [Reyes]. We're still dealing with scheduling things there,
and then we'll take it from there."
