Black Flag bring their War back to Australia
Iconic punk rock pioneers, Black Flag, will tour Australia for the first time in a decade in December, playing two sets a night.
Four shows have been announced and Black Flag will reprise its 1984 album, “My War”, in full over the course of one of them.
Black Flag is built around founding guitarist Greg Ginn and vocalist/pro skateboarder Mike Vallely, and are joined by Joseph Noval on bass, and Isaias Gil on drums,
Ironically, Vallely stepped up to the mic and assumed the job in Perth on the final show of the band’s fractuous 2013 Australian tour after Ginn sacked then incumbent Ron Reyes onstage.
One of the harbingers of the Southern Californian punk scene since forming in Hermosa Beach in 1976, Black Flag has had a string of frontmen including Keith Morris and Henry Rollins.
Tickets are on sale here.
