The Week in Posters

We'll start off with the most temporally proximate -
Tonight - Lager House - Timmy's Organism 7" Release / Greg Ashley / Wizzard Sleeve / Kelly Jean Caldwell
Photobucket

Next... we'll get to the shows that don't have any posters...at least none that the internet/glowing box genie/google-demon will reveal to me...


5 / 2 - The Electric Lions (pictured)/ Jesus Chainsaw Massacre / Murdery Mystery - at Izzy's Raw Art Gallery. Should be noisy and weird...hard rolling grooves and some potentially offensive and humorous shouting in a unique venue just down Michigan Avenue near Corktown.



Then, also 5 / 2 - at the Belmont - ThesePeople Comedy (local sketch comedy crew, pictured) are releasing a DVD... "Best Of Vol. 1" and will provide in-between-band comedy performances throughout a set that features Elle & The Fonts, Lightning Love and Millions of Brazilians. Dig it.

Okay..., everyone else has nice fancy posters - so I'll let them do the talking and we can just marvel at this hopefully-not-yet-forgotten-art-form...

Poster Printing said...

The Devious poster has an interesting font—reminds me of something a little scary and a little ’70s-ish. I like the coloring of the last poster, but the font is hard to read with the backwards letters and the “f” that looks like an “r.” If you’re not going to have any images, it’s best to use a font that’s easy to read because most people will be skimming over it, not taking the time to read it a few times when it’s hanging on a wall.
