It's On

The 'Catalyst' show at fifty24SF Gallery opens tonight at 7PM. It will be amazing. Runs through September 25.



Gonna hit up Cafe du Nord after the show to check out Witch, featuring J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. fame on drums. I've been waiting for these guys to finally play a show out here, so I'm pretty excited. They play with San Diego's Earthless, truly a force to be reckoned with. Saw them destroy SD's Casbah last year, and I'm thinking they might own the stage tonight.

Poster Lust III

Gig posters I wish I had, but either didn't know about or was too slow to grab when they were available. All artwork by Aaron Horkey, except the Arcade Fire poster, by Wes Winship. All were once available at the Burlesque website (check the 'sold out' link, boo-hoo).

Stuff I have, most of which still needs to be framed and hung...

Poster Lust

After being tucked away in a poster tube and placed in a dank corner of my room for over a year since I first got it, I've finally framed this exquisite piece by artist extraordinaire Aaron Horkey of Burlesque Design. Snagged it at an ISIS gig last year celebrating their 10 years together as one of the most kick ass bands currently rocking the planet.



Speaking of which ISIS singer/guitarist, Hydrahead Industries head honcho and graphic art nerd Aaron Turner, along with Aaron Horkey, Seldon Hunt, and others will be part of the 'Catalyst' group exhibition coming to SF Sept. 4. Da-rool, Da-rool! Info here.

Another beautiful poster by David D'Andrea for the Earth/Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter show that went down on June 20th at the Great American Music Hall. I wish I'd grabbed one.
