Despite death, debilitating injury, and departures of former members, the band plays on. The most recent set back was the departure of Krist Novoselic, who joined the band in December of 2006 for a tour of the UK. Novoselic spent two years with Flipper, playing shows and recording an album of new material as well as a live album. He ultimately gave notice, after deciding the tour grind was no longer in the cards for him.
This time around the band enlisted Rachel Thoele, formerly of Frightwig, Mudwomen and Van Gough's Daughter. Along with the three original members, Bruce Loose, Steve Depace, and Ted Falconi, the band is once again road ready.
Flipper's back catalog is also being made available for the first time in years, both on 180-gram vinyl and in the UK on Domino Records. In addition, tours of Australia, Europe and the US are planned for 2009.
