Flipper

Flipper was founded in 1979 by Ted Falconi, Will Shatter, Steve DePace, and Ricky Williams. All were from early San Francisco punk bands, Rad Command, Negative Trend, and Sleepers, respectively. Ricky Williams, though a great singer, was too messed up, and was fired after about 6 months. He was replaced by Bruce Loose, who we consider to be an original member. Bruce was on the very first recording released by Flipper, which was a song entitled “Earthworm” on the SF Underground / Subterranean EP.
