Before the Internet you learned of shows at your local venues by flyer’s. Your faves would post them everywhere as advertising for their gigs.
Disposable and beaten you’d be lucky if you remembered to tear one down to hang on your squat wall, I still have one from GBH performing at the I-beam in San Francisco.. circa 85 or 86.
The master artist of this genre when it wasn’t sharpies and a black and white copier was Gary Gilmore.
Gary has worked with some the biggest bands in the punk and hardcore music world including Joey Ramone’s 1st Birthday Bash, The Exploited, The Casualties, The Business, Misfits, Danzig, Madball, Sheer Terror, Discharge, Blowfly, Anal Cunt, The Damned, Verbal Abuse, Sick of it All, G.B.H., Angelic Upstarts, Ludichrist, Crumbsuckers, Six and Violence, Killing Time, Murphy’s Law, Shutdown, Blanks 77, 25 Ta Life, Aus Rotten, Breakdown, Merauder, Hatebreed, The Krays, Kill Your Idols, N.R.S.V., V.O.D., Uppercut, Conflict, Cause For Alarm.,yeah that’s just a few.
Now you can actually go see his work as art.
