First/Last-Flashlights


"They tour in a van and sleep on couches.  They have a strange affinity for cats and Pokemon. They’re called Flashlights and they are a rather spectacular band from the decidedly unspectacular Brevard County, Florida.  What began as a solo acoustic project for 24-year-old singer/guitarist Terry Caudill in 2007 has added various members from the local punk scene."

Hailing from Orlando, melodic indie pop-punkers Flashlights return to Pittsburgh this Saturday at Garfield Artworks in support of their latest effort, the "Bummer Summer". Opening the show are locals The Spectres and Yrs. Much thanks to the band for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.
