Four years later in 1997, Flipp released their eponymous debut on tax day, April 15, and celebrated by performing in front of the Minneapolis Post Office until the police arrived. The quartet escaped and went on to become Minnesota celebrities. Flipp then crossed America with Cheap Trick: Allegedly, after one show, Trick guitarist Rick Nielson asked Bryan, "Did I get onstage with you?" Bryan replied, "Yeah. We were playing 'Magical Mystery Tour' and you played 'Day Tripper.'" Flipp began Teenage Rampage, a contest for Minnesota high school bands. They played Woodstock 99 and performed in the exploitation eye-sore Terror Firmer. Now under the auspices of Bill Aucoin, who managed Kiss and Billy Idol, Flipp dropped their second recording, Blow It Out Your Ass, in 2000. -Stone |
