Black Flag embarking on first tour with Mike Vallely

 

The latest incarnation of Black Flag is ready to hit the road. The punk rockers are scheduled to kick off their first tour with new frontman Mike Vallely.

The so-called “Victimology” trek starts tonight in Midland, Texas. Vallely — who is also the band’s manager — took over for Ron Reyes last fall after Reyes was let go mid-concert.

Vallely says he’s excited about performing songs from the entire Black Flag catalog, adding that he plans to give them their due respect while also making them his own.
