About

---

Flashlight Tag is a quirky, pop-rock band from Richmond, Virginia. The group features Brian Phelps on guitar, Justin Laughter on vocals, Sam Bennett on keys, Brian Durrett on bass, and Lee Brooks on drums. A combination of The Muppets Take Manhattan and Big Trouble in Little China, Laughter's kermitesque persona masterfully balances Phelps' effortless embrace of Kurt Russellian swagger and irreverent charisma. Attendance of Todd Snider, The Jesus Lizard, Pavement, and Toad the Wet Sprocket fans is a must.
