What better way to start a tour called Psychedelic Secession but to go to the heart of the Psychedelic movement today, and bust out a killer poster for MGMT. These guys make some amazing music – this poster was drawn while listening to “Metanoia.”

Public Image Limited. I’m speechless. John Lydon loved the poster and signed one for me – “To Chuck – John Rotten was here!!” They ripped!

I’ll be framing that one for my wall.

I love it when the band gets the poster! When you have a discussion with the band over a piece and they say stuff like, “by far the best poster we’ve ever gotten,” “gritty and classy at the same time,” “I never hang up my band posters in my house, but this one goes up.” It’s Total Print Victory.

Then we had a cool discussion about the graffiti and how it somehow looks like Japanese characters. Pointed out that I gave shout outs to all my friends – Dave Hunter’s TRPS logo, Zoltron, Political Gridlock, and Ribbity (one of my favorite SF Graf artists).

Hangar 18 represents on an SF bus while the central figure “tunes out” with ipod in an introspective mood. Somehow all this technology still leaves us listening to our inner voice – even when blasting music.

Just a reminder – the Firehouse-Goldenvoice Poster Series is getting veeeery close to number 100.
