Quick: What type of glasses do you usually see at a Gamits show? If you guessed aviators, horn-rimmed or browline, you win a substantial amount of geek points for knowing the names of the three nerdiest types of glasses. Also, you should probably get down to the Gamits show this…

The Deadbeat Club has been revived. But this new Deadbeat Club is not the iconic venue that Regas Christou ran at 4040 East Evans Avenue in the ’90s. After he gave up the venue in the early 2000s, it went through several owners and incarnations. When Steve Lyons and his…
The majority of the fliers we see are deadly serious affairs, but thankfully, the crew over at Bocumast knows how to make light of a situation while still retaining the essentials of a well put together flier. The fact this one has Neil Armstrong on it just seals the deal…

Wow! It’s our first flier of the new year with the year 2011 inscribed on it. Looks kind of weird. Who knew the future would come so quickly? Anyway, this In Better Senses flier keeps things simple but still manages to be a nice combination of the psychedelic and the…

We see a lot of posters throughout the year, and many of them are stellar. This usually all comes to a head on New Years Eve, when venues pull out all the stops and unleash a ton of kickass posters. We haven’t seen many, however, that have come even close…
What’s the best way to promote a show with a headlining band called Battleship Agenda? Well, you get a big ass battleship and you show it off. Bonus points go to whoever booked this show and made sure to tag Nautical Mile to play as well; it’s a sea-faring trip…
