Label: Gasatanka Records

Price: 14.99 Euro


25th Anniversary re-issue of Southern California hard core stalwarts White Flag's first release, 'S Is For Space', as a deluxe 2 LP vinyl only limited edition. This 2 record set includes the long out of print original LP, (which was recorded and pressed in December of 1982, but not distributed until 1983), as well as a second vinyl album, pressed in random 'mystery colors', featuring previously unreleased recordings of the band's second and third live gigs. Record two includes their famous first 'real gig', supporting Black Flag, to an army of very angry skinheads in Hemet, California, August 31, 1982. The deluxe packaging features a hand numbered silver foil stamped front cover, heavy duty 5mm spine sleeve, a 12' x 24' reproduction of the original 3' x 4' promotional poster, the original 1983 insert, and a copy of the rare 'borrowed' Raymond Pettibon art flier from the Black Flag support gig.

About the band;

WHITE FLAG, seminal stalwarts of the Los Angeles California punk rock and roll scene. With a many faceted history that began in the small farm town of Sunnymead, California in 1982 White Flag has released 23 albums, singles and CD's, in countries as varied as South Africa, Japan and the Faroe Islands.

The band had the honor of being the ONLY American group ever to play the remote The Faroe Islands. White flag is also the only USA band to ever play Greenland, where White Flag headlined the annual Asiaat Nipia Rock Festival, north of the Arctic Circle.
With their well known rotating roster of band members, this tour's line up includes: Pat Fear and Doug Graves, (who founded the band in 1982),12 year veteran Kim Crimson, 12 year veteran El Swe, and the return of the band's second drummer, Victor M. Surrounded, who has not performed with the group since 1982.
Other members of the 'White Flag Army' who have recorded or toured as a member of the band, (but are not performing on this tour) have included: Hole's Eric Erlandson and Courtney Love, Pat Smear, Bruce Duff of the Jeff Dahl Group, 45 Grave and The Adz, Javier Escovedo of legendary Los Angeles punk band The Zeros, and Rancid's Tim Armstrong.
As a souvenir of the group's first visit to Italy, the band is releasing a limited edition, hand numbered 8 song 10' vinyl album, on Roma based RARO! Records, entitled 'Piangi Con Me.'

This release, named after the group's cover version of The Rokes song of the same name (sung in Italian by Pat Fear!), marks the band's first new material to be issued since the 'Eternally Undone' CD, which was released in Italy on Valium Records, in 2003.
A video for the first track, 'Somebody's Missing Too,' will be seen on Italian television beginning January 23.

A limited edition extend version of the 'Piangi Con Me' release will be available only at the band's Italian shows. It will feature many extra songs not available on the 10' vinyl release. An English language of 'Piangi con Me' will be included, and guest appearances by members of Arthur Lee's Love, Redd Kross, The Muffs (which feature 2 White Flag Army band members!) and Paul Roessler of the legendary Los Angeles band The Screamers.
Aside from their infrequent record releases and tours with White Flag, the band members have a varied and colorful musical history.

Pat Fear has worked as a songwriter and producer for such artists as Courtney Love's band Hole, NOFX, Pat Smear (of Nirvana/Foo Fighters and The Germs fame), The Go-Go's, Bangles, Redd Kross, Sean Lennon, Ace Frehley of KISS, and Swedish garage punk legends The Nomads. He is also a technical advisor on the currently in production film 'What We Do is Secret,' (starring two long time White Flag fans: 'E.R.' actor Shane West, and Bijou Phillips), as well as being a rodeo bull riding champion, vegetarian, and a member of PeTA.
Kim Crimson, (under his real name of Ken Stringfellow) is a sought after producer, when not busy fronting his full time band The Posies, and is one forth of the revamped lineup of the legendary band Big Star, and tours as keyboardist for R.E.M.

Doug Graves is a professional surfer on the band supported Team Cleocin Snow and Surf team, and a member of the internationally known 70's disco tribute band 'The Boogie Knights', who were single handedly responsible for starting the campy disco revival fad in The United States. The Boogie Knights are an established club act, with a large 'following' of rock and roll and punk fans, who enjoy the band's irreverent approach to the once hated dance music. They have become much sought after entertainers for private events, and they have performed for private parties for such varied public figures as Tom Cruise, Mick Jagger, and former US President Gerald Ford.

El Swe is a member of the popular Swedish band Sator, and is a well respected producer in Scandinavia, having worked on releases by The Hellacopters and The Hives.
