The Black Flag Thread

How about a vintage '84 Black Flag show why not?

I've been trying to create another BLACK FLAG WEEK Facebook event, but it seems like Facebook events have gotten even stupider since last year. Now the only way to do a week long event is to just repeat the entry every day you want to do it. So, so dumb.

Oh yeah, so for anyone who wants to partake in the festivities: https://www.facebook.com/BlackFlagWeek

Meltingly hot over here where I am, on DAY TWO of BLACK FLAG WEEK IIII, so here's a show in Phoenix Arizona from December 1982!

I'm more interested in what's planned the Week After Flag Week that will make everyone on the board hate each other, hate the band, hate themselves, hate life itself.

IIII GREG'S WAR IIII



IIII GREG GINN GETS ANGRY AND SUES EVERYONE IIII

Ginn "...claims he and his label, SST Records, exclusively own the rights to the Black Flag name (and “Flag” variation) and infamous logo, which Flag use on tour.

He sued his 1979-mid 1980s bandmates Friday, seeking an injunction against their current tour, which kicked off in May and will stop in Los Angeles (pending this case) for FYF Fest on August 24. The suit describes the alleged infringement of the logo and name "Flag" as "a colorable imitation" that's "likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception among consumers."
Ginn accuses Garfield and Morris of lying to the Trademark Office on registrations; using his own label's record covers to feign as though they've been continuing to use Black Flag since 1979, and in an what's alleged to be an act of "outrageous fraud," using bootleg SST t-shirts in an attempt to show they've been making such products in that time.
