Life Of Pain

Obscure bootleg with Black Flag live at the Starship Club in Milwaukee in 1981 with Dez Cadena on vocals. Amazing artwork and a fantastic show!

Cadena joined Black Flag in 1980, replacing singer Ron Reyes. During the first year of touring with the band, his hoarse voice became a recognizable and often imitated style of singing in hardcore punk. Eventually, and due in part to straining his voice, Cadena decided he wanted to play guitar. Henry Rollins joined as vocalist, and for a period, Cadena played rhythm guitar alongside founder Greg Ginn, including on the seminal 1981 album “Damaged“.

Extremely rare LP in great shape, only here at Gram!
