Posters make the punk.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Instant Litter: Concert Posters from Seattle Punk Culture (Paperback)
An amazing idea, document the rise of a local music scene by the most common form of communication. In Seattle, in the '80s it was the flyers for shows stapled or pasted up around town. Designed to attract attention, they ranged from quick Xeroxs to silk-screened-on-posterboard masterpieces for better-known bands. Postering was the primary means of promotion for bands in Seattle at that time, and this book is filled with hundreds of examples of the form. Browsing through the pages, you see the evolution of a music scene as it became more and more active, inventive and crowded. This book is especially interesting to anyone who ever covered their walls in college with gig posters, or who is a collector. And, if you're from Seattle, and were ever "on the Ave." you'll no doubt remember many of the posters, even if you never saw the bands play.
