On stage with the homie Finess

Show Poster 3: Three Brothers Deli

This is the poster for our show this Saturday (12/22). It's all based on this Mayan-Calendar-end-of-the-world thing, everybody's made a big deal of while somehow forgetting all about it at the same time. Aren't people just CRAZY? Personally, I think WE'RE the end of The World, not an event. Anyway, I digress...

Idn't this poster the RADDEST? That gnarly Ray Bradbury-esque Science fiction paperback cover illustration, The giant Space-squid poised atop the planet, causing God-knows-what destruction under his giant, disgusting Space-squid ass, Mankind, in silly Tylenol™ brand space capsules, dukin' it out for the cosmos..

Once again, the font is DEAD ON! So G.I. Joe! (A personal childhood staple). *

Love it!

I found out who does our posters, too! Toni, a.k.a. Kyro Ink, a.k.a. Ebb Tight, a.k.a Tart Prints (@TartPrints)

Holla at that dude for kickass prints, tats, drawings, photos and of course, Super-rad show posters, like this one, Show poster no. 3.

*Although it's probably completely irrelevant, for posterity's sake, it should be noted that the opening act Jose & Maria, are unable to play that night. We doin a 2-hour set instead.

Poster Two: Lizzie's Grille.

Here's the poster from last week's show. It was at a lil strip-mall sports bar called Lizzie's Grille. The stage was literally the size of a queen-size mattress. The food was good, though(Killer wings!).
Right in the heart of Antioch, this poster is PERFECT for that spot. The stripper-silhouette, the Black & Mild™ background, even the font! I don't know who's doin our posters, but, I'm gonna find out and give em a high-five.

Show Poster 1: The Boro

One of the most awesome things about being in a band, especially if you're a band that plays in public often, is the ever-present opportunity to brush shoulders with other art forms. A favorite is the show flyer/poster. These can range from your standard cut-and-paste, to all kinds of photoshop wizardry.

In any event, I've been really proud of some of the posters for the past several shows.

This one is from a show we did at The Boro. All I got to say is, WALDO! How random is that? I really like the font, too.
Can't remember much from this show. I think I got pretty drunk. I DO remember Rick bringin his OWN PORTABLE BAR in a van to the show. Will killed a bottle while playing.  Rest is blurry.

Anyway. Posters are cool.
I'll post some more.

We played at some random sports bar/local pub in Bellevue, semi-swanky yet cop-infested part of town. The opening act was TIGHT! Forlorn Gentiles, I think they were called. Well rehearsed. Duck found em on Craigslist!

Shout out to Robert and all the homies for gettin it right. Faded on that "moonshine" ( Damn, we shoulda played "Lightning" in honor). We had to roll out in a 6-car caravan to ward off the fuzz, and they STILL came gunnin! Right as he broke in between Will and me, the interstate exit appeared and we dipped. Hell yeah!
