One of the first things to change in my life after my move to NYC was the amount of shows I go to. Not to say that there weren’t a lot of bands touring in Melbourne or Sydney, but suddenly in here it seemed as if there was a band I liked playing at one of the awesome NY venues every week or more.
The other night, I was offered a spare ticket to an X show. I hadn’t really heard much of their music (a massive oversight on my part – one which I’ve since sought to rectify) but one thing that struck my eye as soon as we entered was the unbelievable poster for that night’s performance:
It had unfortunately – but not surprisingly – sold out.
Some snooping online, leading to a visit to gigposters.com, listed the artist as Bootsy Rizzak, and his other stuff is just as exciting. Check it out here. Silkscreened expertly by Luther Davis in Brooklyn, with a run of only 50. It was by far the best poster I’ve seen in a while.
(far be it from me to post about the poster rather than the show. The show was phenomenal, and I have no words. There may be a review forthcoming from my gig companion soon)
