Yep, you read that right: Black Flag is on the road in 2023, and the tour has just announced a stop in Madison. The band, formed in 1976 in California and led since by guitarist-songwriter Greg Ginn, helped bring the do-it-yourself concept back to the rock world by booking their own tours and forming the SST label to release music. The band is marking the 40th anniversary of the My War album with a full performance, plus a second set of other material. Along with Ginn, the band features vocalist Mike Vallely (a member since 2014) and a rhythm section of Harley Duggan and Charles Wiley (both from Seattle band Darkhorse Rising).
