Black Label Society, Clutch at The Warfield, November 20, 2010

Black Label Society, Clutch, Children of Bodom and Dublin Death Patrol burned rubber at the Warfield on Saturday, November 20,2010. A straight-ahead rock show like this needed a no-bullshit rock poster. I kicked out this Old School design with two pedal-to-the-metal metallics (gold and silver-blue metallic), a fire-red tint blend and all the cool texture you need to get good traction off the line. Fire it up and let the engines roll!

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.

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.

Mumford & Sons at The Warfield, Wednesday, October 20, 2010

Mumford & Sons brings their unique blend of folk and deep heartfelt romanticism to The Warfield in San Francisco, with Mt. Desolation and King Charles opening. These world travelers have a really spectacular video of their journey through India and beyond on their website – give it a look – gives you a great idea of where they are coming from and the kind of robust spirit they bring to the stage.

Manu Chao, Rupa & The April Fishes, The Warfield, October 15, 2010

Amazing show tonight! Manu Chao’s manager accepted my posters with a dead-pan, “Thank you.” Then I mentioned that I squatted in Italy for a year (2006) and that Manu Chao was the ubiquitous soundtrack to the experience. At that, he cracked a big smile and said, “Thank you, bro!” I want to thank Marcello from Argentina, my print shop mate in Italy at Centro Sociale Leoncavallo in Milan, for turning me onto Manu Chao.

San Francisco’s own Rupa & The April Fishes took the stage and fired up the crowd. You may remember that Rupa opened for Spearhead on my Power to the Peaceful poster.

Manu Chao is more an experience and political touchstone than just a mere musical act. I don’t think I’m alone when I remember not only their songs, but where I was, and what I was committed to doing when I first heard them.
