Saturday August 26th at The GARAGE (Hollywood) - 8 PM 4519 Santa Monica Blvd. 21 and over - $10 Smogtown, Crowd, ADZ, the LA debut of Duane Peters and the Hunns, BellRays, perhaps more bands. Since the summer of 1977, for 23 years straight, Flipside Fanzine has covered the Southern California music scene, and has continued giving a voice to literally tens of thousands of bands during its run. During 1999, its exclusive music distributor failed to pay for a large chunk of sales, putting Flipside over a very big, very uncomfortable, and very splintery barrel. In the time since early 1999, Flipside has incurred massive legal and court fees that have greatly slowed down the production of the magazine. This benefit is to help Flipside get its legs back, to pay impending and overdue bills, to avoid getting evicted, and begin, again, covering the music that it has independently supported for almost a quarter of a century. Please phone or email Todd at Flipside if you have any questions.
