Joe Strummer DVD Cover – Cast a Long Shadow

I designed the cover for this working with photographer Michael Zagaris, and I’m happy to announce that it is available on January 25, 2011. I did the poster and went to Los Angeles to see the show back in 2007. What a great show! Here’s a trailer from the DVD:

2007 Los Angeles tribute and benefit concert for The Clash’s Joe Strummer whose influence on music is immeasurable. Performances by: LOVE AND ROCKETS, ZANDER SCHLOSS & THE WILDERNESS YEARS (featuring Flea, Martyn Lenoble, Dix Denney, Jonny Polonsky, Tim Aaron, Victor Indrizzo, Emiliano Almeida, Dermot Mulroney, Kieran Mulroney, Gus Seyffert, Charlie Wadhams, Craig Jackman, Stefan Lirakis and Pete Weiss), HELLRIDE (featuring Mike Watt, Jane’s Addiction’s Stephen Perkins and Porno For Pyro’s Peter Distefano), DAVID J, LA PLEBE, MELODEE FERNANDEZ and hosted by CHRIS SALEWICZ. A fantastic and poignant evening for all involved. Proceeds from the sale of this DVD will benefit the Strummerville charity. Set up by family and friends in the wake of Joe Strummer’s death in 2002, Strummerville seeks to reflect Joe’s unique contribution to the music world by offering support, resources and performance opportunities to artists who would not normally have access to them.
