Established in 1990, Flash Addict became a fixture on the Boston rock scene from 1991-1994. With a gritty sound, lively stage presence and obsessive work ethic, the band quickly climbed up the ranks to become Boston area headliners. Offstage, the band was well-known for shameless self-promotion and notorious aftershow parties. The band’s popularity peaked in 1992-93, when Flash Addict took top honors both years at the Big Gig, New England’s largest music festival of unsigned artists held at Great Woods (now the Comcast Center).
