From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flipron are an entirely unique, almost unclassifiable, band, from Glastonbury, UK, consisting of singer and songwriter Jesse Budd, pianist/organist Joe Atkinson, drummer Mike Chitty and bassist Greg Shepheard. They were signed to Tiny Dog Records in 2003, the former bassist being Mark Wingfield.

They have released two critically acclaimed albums, Fancy Blues and Rustique Novelties in 2004 and Biscuits for Cerberus in 2006.

They have also released 3 singles, "Hanging Round The Lean-To With Grandad" (2006), "The End Of Summer/Raindrops Keep Falling On The Dead" (2006) and "Dogboy Vs Monsters" (2007).

Their music has been likened to Tom Waits, Syd Barrett and The Kinks.

The band appeared at many UK festivals in 2007, including the Avalon Stage at the Glastonbury Festival.

They are currently recording their 3rd album at Chris Jagger's Somerset studio with former The Damned drummer, Rat Scabies producing.(Due for release in 2008). The album is thought to be more diverse and according to Budd, "The Next step in our firey handsome ladder towards Mainstream stardom."
