Black Flag to Perform at Exit/In June 27

Here’s what you need to know about hardcore punk legends Black Flag in 2014: after their initial split in 1986, the group’s many, many members of varying degrees of importance went on to form and join countless other musical projects, with most prominent and final frontman Henry Rollins garnering the greatest post-breakup success. Last year, the band “reformed,” with only guitarist Greg Ginn remaining from its early days. This version of the band put out one album, What The…, last fall with vocalist Ron Reyes, before shedding a few more members and restructuring for a new tour (another group of former Black Flag members reformed last year as well, and have been touring under the name “Flag,” making this all the more confusing; neither group features Rollins, however). Now armed with vocalist Mike Vallely, who first joined the band for a few songs at a reunion show way back in ’03, Black Flag are set to play our very own Exit/In on June 27, for what appears to be their first Nashville show ever [edit: we’ve been informed by commenter Vollie Stone that Black Flag played Nashville in 1984]! Joining them are Ginn’s electronic side project HOR, and New York duo Cinema Cinema.

While it might be a far-shot from a full-on Black Flag reunion, this is likely the closest you’re ever going to get, and it’s still sure to be a rowdy, fun time. Tickets are now on sale, and by virtue of name alone are almost sure to sell out. Grab ’em here for $15.
