Swiss Tour 2010 – Luzern Memories

Mart Infanger is a great poster artist, art instructor, musician and world class host. After partying down with all the great artists in Zurich the night before, he sheepishly asked if it would be okay if we took a hike in the mountains, and Lindsey and I were super stoked to say, “Yes!” We crossed beautiful Luzern by the lake by small rail and walking…

Took a gondola up to the mid-point of Mount Pilatus, named after the dragon who is fabled to live there (the mountain was shaped like a crouched dragon with wings folded against the ground) so cool! Mart told us how supposed socerers who came to Luzern in the Middle Ages were called “Venetians,” because the Venetians were just through the pass yonder and brought advanced gadgets and ideas.

We took a good long hike through the woods at the foot of Pilatus. Met the old man of the forest.

Took in the view and went to have lunch in the sun. I had Jäger, Spatzli, and Red Cabbage, great fall food!

Totally refreshed we descended back down into Luzern to set up our show at The Metzgerhalle, a great rock club in the heart of Luzern.

Here’s some shots from the night. You can see a progression here. Connect the dots. Great night!

Swiss Tour 2010 – Bern Memories

Back in lovely Bern! I love the Reithalle, where we had our show in the cafe Rössli on the ground floor. We shared the show between me and Ron Donovan, Lindsey Kuhn and the local Bern artistic geniuses Blackyard, Philip Thöeni, Silvio Brügger, Christian Calame and Jared Muralt. Great time was had by all. Here’s a friendly Foozball match caught in exciting video:

Robert Butler came to the show. He set up the print studio at the Reithalle. Robert has my respect for sure, he’s an extremely talented designer and printer, musician (he recently toured the world with Reverend Beat Man), and all around renaissance dude. Cheers Robert, thanks for hanging out – it was great to see you!

Shellac had a rocking show in the concert hall upstairs called The Dachstock – and they were awe-inspiring, great! Todd Trainer, Bob Weston and Steve Albini came and checked out our poster show. We shared a relaxed coffee in the morning in the empty concert hall – and headed out to our respective “next date.” Here’s my incredibly blurry photo from the show:

Swiss Tour 2010 – Geneva Memories

It was so great to be back in Geneva. My old friend, Yvan Le Hyaric made this really cool set-up for our show at his exhibition space called La Station Orbitale – the lighting was amazing! All our friends were there. Moe Seiber showed and I was finally able to give her a poster gift in a big thank you for putting us up at her house. Helene and Franz Treichler of The Young Gods came and rocked out with us. I was so happy to see everyone come out and check out the newest stuff.

Yvan and his wife Marielos Zuniga cooked us an amazing pumpkin soup in the afternoon for everyone at the opening. Took this picture of the ingredients – mmmm!

La Plebe at Slim’s SF, November 5, 2010

One of my favorite San Francisco bands, La Plebe, is releasing a CD produced by one of my favorite San Francisco musicians, Billy Gould (bassist of Faith No More). La Plebe asked me to make a poster for the event. So here’s my poster for La Plebe’s CD release party, some rock’n’roll love and revolution propaganda for San Francisco’s superb, subversive musical outfit. Look for their CD on Kool Arrow Records.

2 Tone (Gold and Blue/silver) on Deep Blue Linen Textured Paper

Of Montreal at The Warfield Poster

I was monkeying around with this image, and I may be no genius, but I do share 98% of my genome with our friends depicted here. Seemed like a good image for such a fun and extremely experimental and psychedelic band like Of Montreal. Certainly a poster for those of you with evolved tastes.

Of Montreal with Janelle Monae at The Warfield, Friday, October 29, 2010
