New album by 10 Ft Ganja Plant “Bush Rock” coming out this summer on ROIR!

From the Flipper Myspace: “Flipper Tour plans for 2009 include Australia in June, US dates in July / August, and Europe in September. We are set to play the first 3 days of Warped Tour this year. We are also very excited to announce Rachel Thoele as Flipper’s latest edition on Bass Guitar. She will be touring the world with us this year and bringing the female perspective to the Flipper sound.” Flipper on Warped Tour: * June 26 – Pomona, California * June 27 – San Francisco, California * June 28 – Ventura, California

Lucky California! If you’re like us and stuck on the other side of the country,check out this video of Flipper live at Amoeba Music in San Francisco below the jump.

And of course, there’s also our live Flipper album, Blow’n Chunks… and our $5 Flipper shirts. The fact that they’re SUPER AWESOME & SUPER CHEAP kinda makes up for the fact that Flipper aren’t playing here until the summer, doesn’t it?
