That said, all wasn’t lost for The Residents in 2020. Homer Flynn, manager of The Residents, said via email, The cancellation of the tour opened up the band’s schedule, allowing them to begin production on a film project that they have been working on for several years. The film, called Triple Trouble, is now well into post production.
But before they head up to Portland, Oregon, to kick off their “Dog Stab!” tour on Aug. 19, The Residents will be featured on the 40th anniversary show of Night Flight, a TV series that first aired in the 1980s on the USA Network, where The Residents had multiple appearances.
