Item Description
11x17" photocopy (xerographic print) on thin white stock produced before the show for promotion. Advertising a concert featuring "Oakland's Attitude," "From NYC White Zombie" and "From S.F. The Witness" at the Community World Theater in Tacoma, WA on May 21. Historic early poster for Rob Zombie's first band on tour outside of New York City for the first time supporting their first studio album Soul Crusher. Light moisture marks most notably at bottom right, loss at lower right corner and at left from staples, some just affecting text. Otherwise scattered staple and pin holes. VG. Playing at the venue that provided the first stage for Nirvana earlier this same year. Kurt Cobain considered White Zombie's Soul Crusher among his most influnetial albums. Rarely do you see a horizontal format poster from this era typically dominated by designs utilizing the vertical length for telephone poles.
Soul Crusher was released in 1987 on the bands own independent label, Silent Explosion, and again by Caroline Records in 1988 after signing the group. While Soul Crusher hints at the later metal stylings the band would embrace by 1992's major label break out La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One, they were decidedly noise rock on their debut, attracting fans including the aforementioned Cobain as well as Iggy Pop and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. Rob Zombie recently posted an image from the May 18, 1988 Seattle White Zombie concert w/Cobain in the background to his Instagram account.
