Black Flag Returns To Butte Wednesday, September 9

One of the most influential American hardcore punk bands will make their return to the Mining City on Wednesday, September 9th at Black Flag is scheduled to play The Covellite in Butte.  You may remember a handful of years back when Black Flag was one of the final acts to play Knievel Days in Butte and they certainly packed a big punch.

Black Flag was formed in 1976 in Southern California and quickly emerged as an uncompromising band who helped define hardcore punk through intensity, relentless touring and music that has never been afraid to challenge expectations.  Their touring schedule remains uncompromising as their Butte appearance is part of an extensive North American tour that will take the group all across the country through January of next year.

Black Flag's founder. guitarist Greg Ginn, will be joinedin Butte by David Rodriguez on bass, Bryce Weston on drums and London Downey up front who is filling in for the band's full-time vocalist Max Zanelly who is dealing with visa issues.

Decades after its formation, Black Flag remains "loud, direct, independent and continually pushing forward, carrying the same confrontational spirit from the underground clubs of the late 1970s to stages around the world today."

Advance tickets are $37 and available here.  The price will rise to $45 dollars the day of the performance but advance purchase is recommended as a sellout is expected.

Tickets will be available this weekend as The Covellite will be hosting Jesse, The Ocelot on Friday night and the Rock The Pit festival on Saturday.
