Music Posters

I have been looking at a lot of awesome posters for punk shows and raves lately so I figured I would share them with you guys. I would love to see music posters you guys love as well.

Sorry if the photos I post are small or low quality; they were like that when I found them. Hopefully you should be able to find higher quality versions of the ones you like using reverse image search.

Source? I assumed they were from here, but they're not: https://the-eye.eu/public/Posters/Scruffs_Vintage_Punk_Rock_flyers/

>>5926 I have just been collecting them from all over the internet. I got a good amount of them from collections on Archive.org, Tumblr, Reddit some academic sources, and elsewhere but I didn't bookmark most of them, sorry. Also, that collection you posted is awesome; Idk why it didn't occur to me to check the-eye for this kind of stuff. Here are the few links I have bookmarked for flyers. They are mostly for old punk flyers: https://digital.library.cornell.edu/collections/punkflyers https://archive.org/details/1977CaliforniaPunkRockFlyers/page/n9 https://archive.org/details/BlackFlagCaliforniaGigFlyers https://hardcoreshowflyers.net/

>>5926 I found a folder on Soulseek a while ago, it might be the same collection? Also if I remember when I get home I'll photo some of the stuff I have on the wall, just shows I went to. I don't have many left from very long ago.

>>5915 Thought this one was quite nice, I have it hanging in my room. I don't have a scan, unfortunately.

These give me very intense feelings of homesickness for something that I was never part of. Like a nostalgia for when things could be secret and hidden. I'll savor these feelings. Thank you OP

>>5953 There is actually a term for the sensation you describe: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauntology Although when you say > when things could be secret and hidden ...the point of flyering was to let as many people know about an event as possible. Keeping things hidden is actually more of a modern online thing. Back then, getting the word out was more of a goal.

king gizzard had some sweet posters for their 2019 world tour. their in house artist made one for each city. i was lucky enough to grab one of the new orleans posters (bottom left) when i saw them back in september

>>5956 new orleans, san fransisco and nyc are regarded as the best

>>5957 didn't upload san frans for some reason, its the one i want the most

>>5953 I feel the same way with the homesickness for old scenes I was never a part of

>>5956 >>5957 >>5958 These posters are fuarrrking awesome, especially the last one. I love King Gizz

>>5955 >...the point of flyering was to let as many people know about an event as possible. Keeping things hidden is actually more of a modern online thing. Back then, getting the word out was more of a goal. You're right, it's kind of paradoxical how I feel that way. I guess the feeling of being near something hidden is similar to the feeling of being near something that's passed by.

>>5956 >>5957 >>5958 haha after posting this my friend dropped off this bad boy, definitely getting it framed

Does paper posters really effective in informating about events?In my city posters about some underground stuff appear only in a few places in the centre, and i always see them when event already happened

>>5983 A lot of these are from before, when it was the main way to promote anything, especially if you didn't have a hip weekly newspaper with reliable event listings. It was effective then because people kept their eyes open to look for them, and people on the street or in cafes would talk about them. >>5984 This is amazing, the Clash, Slits and the Buzzcocks on that one poster, and some teenager clearly made it in their bedroom with a marker, scissors and glue. Awesome.

>>5986 I know! An amazing lineup that I can't believe even happened at some point, and a poster that is peak DIY. I love it

>>5953 >>5955 >>5960 'Anemoia' is another recent word for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH6ZCIRjI14

>>6013 These are awesome; I love monochromatic posters. The Einstürzende Neubauten poster looks especially cool, though maybe I am biased because I love their music.

>>5915 never thought I'd see a flyer for that here, I know them irl simon is a pretty cool dude

>>6030 That middle one, sick. I found this archive while looking for the source: https://flyer-jp.com/ https://twitter.com/FLYERARCHIVE_JP

>>6031 Agreed, I figured lainons would really like that one. Also, those links are fuarrrking awesome; thanks for sharing!

Amazing dump OP

>>6076 Thanks! I am still finding more so I will keep posting until I run out!

I actually have an entire book filled with old posters if nobody minds non scans of the photos I'll post the entire thing

>>6118 I would appreciate seeing them.

>>6156

>>6161 I respect the LRD representation.

>>6158 >>6159 >>6160 OP here. Awesome Big Black and other industrial/noise posters. I especially love the Woodshock 85; something about monochromatic posters really do it for me. >>6161 >>6163 I looooove Les Rallizes Denudes; quite possibly my favorite Japanese band. If you guys have more LRD posters, I would love to see them.

I love psychedelic rock concert posters, especially ones by Darren Grealish. Also the art nouveau inspired ones from the 60s.

>>6201 >>6202 These are awesome! I love the art nouveau posters of the 60s as well, especially the typography and color palettes they often chose.
