musical meanderings of a blogger and DJ in Washington, DC.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Bass Drum of Death at 930 Club. Perfect show. Got up front beyond the bar so no one was pushing on us at a sold out show AND I got the set-list at the end of the night. The only thing better would have been to meet them.
I absolutely need one of these for my new place. Amazing!! xoxo
“GIVE/PRIESTS/XANAX/H.G.J.” Edition of 40, 12”x16”, chipboard. Multicolored screenprinted background (each unique) with black letterpressed text, hand set in wood and lead type.
The line-up just rolls off the tongue, right? I have been so excited for this show. It’s been in the works for a few months. My band, HGJ, has wanted to play a show with GIVE and PRIESTS for a while, and I’ve also been dying to bring XANAX down from Philly ever since I heard them.
A few of these posters will be around town, and they’ll be for sale at the show.
The final outcome of this project, as pictured above, is in some ways very different than my original concept. This was a long, full day of experimenting and failing and experimenting again. Total emotional rollercoaster. Yesterday all my sentimental art thoughts were about the power of fully committing to ideas. But today was all about how humbling and vital it is to be flexible, to commit revise and recommit. Yeah…I know, guys. When you’re printing for 13 hours, you have a lot of time to THINK.
The ever-inspiring Astropress creates some totally handsome hand bills for our May 17 show at Comet Ping Pong. You can prepare for this earth-shattering occasion by finishing the sentence suggested on the advertisement:Example: “‘Give priests xanax!’ Her grandmother jeered”
