Chicago’s bagpipe brawlers Flatfoot 56 are back with “The Perks,” their first new music in four years and their first for Pirates Press Records. The video premiered today on New Noise, and the single hits streaming services Friday, November 13.
It’s a pint raised to everyone daft enough to swap a steady life for a van and a stage. “We just wanted to say that we see you and we need you. Let’s be human. Let’s create,” says frontman Tobin Bawinkel.
The Bawinkel brothers have piper and mandolin man Josh Robieson back for the first time since 2010, plus newcomers Johnny Hamlin (guitar) and Dan Alfonsi (drums). A full-length lands next spring, their first studio album since 2017’s Odd Boat.
Catch them November 25 at Chicago’s Chop Shop with The Tossers, December 5 at Small’s in Hamtramck, and December 26 at The Intersection, Grand Rapids, with Mustard Plug.
