FLIPP: Blow It Out Your Ass!

Go ahead and giggle, but there is no act in town—well, maybe Prince—that so meticulously maintains its own hype as frightful foursome Flipp. Trust us, if these boys thought they could sell more records by constructing a monument to themselves at the intersection of Lake and Hennepin, they would. Loony, platform-shod and always making a scene, Flipp recalls the days when rock and roll wasn't so sterile. "Blow It" is just as cartoonishly overblown as the band's live show and nearly as fun. What else would you expect from titles like "Ultra Cool," "Psycho Babble" and "Hair Do" and a bunch of guys who know how to apply lipstick?
