The saga that became legend that recently changed to revival via tribute that is (and was, one could say) The FLANNELS begins in the middle 1980's in suburban Washington state, USA. Former child prodigy guitar near-genius Kameron "Flint" Marko had a chance meeting in a mom & pop sheet music store with two brothers named Grimm; Timm and Jimm, respectively. The brothers, taking an unauthorized break from working at their father's wood pulp extraction plant, were fighting over the tablature for Led Zeppelin's "Achilles' Last Stand", throwing themselves across the classical section and right into our boy Kam, & the die was cast. Quickly developing a "Grunge" style soon to be labeled the next big thing, the young men found a voice in one Stayn (no surname available) who wandered by their rehearsal area (OK, the shed out in the woods behind the pulp pile). The boys overheard Stayn wailing improvised free verse and were mesmerized by his ability to sound both hyper and brooding simultaneously, due to his extreme undiagnosed bipolar/ADHD/caffeine induced hypertension disorder. History was made.
The 4 young men wrote dozens of songs together through the next 10 years , but sadly none of them satisfied as much as the Grunge mega hits of the day. It was then that Jimm (or is it Timm?) had an epiphany-" LETS JUST PLAY THEIR SONGS", he mumbled. "THEIR SONGS ARE BETTER." Out of the mouths of drummers...
Once again, history was defined; The FLANNELS began performing their favorite Grunge material as faithfully as we all remember, with all the venti latte infused angst mixed with overcast intensity! The FLANNELS will carry on and deliver "grunge to the last drop" across this great land of ours, amazing audiences and bringing them back to the not so long ago time when the mood was heavy, the coffee was strong, and Grunge was king. Come and relive the moment with The FLANNELS.
Saw you guys at the Ranch on the 6th. It was a blast. I'm kind of pissed, though. I was planning on starting a band that played the same era of music... dammit! ;)
Hope you get another gig, soon. Out of all the acts I've seen any of you guys in, I enjoy this one the best. Angry music FTW! hehe
