Item Description
11x17" photocopy (xerographic print) on thin white stock produced before the show. PNW flyer promoting a concert in Portland, OR at Satyricon featuring Nirvana, Hitting Birth, Caustic Soda, Thrill Hammer and Rogernusic on "New Years Eve" of 1991. Superb design by Daniel Riddle of Hitting Birth featuring snakes and clown heads. Text "Free Champaigne" led to some chaos during the show when some attendees smashed the distributed free bottle against the club's stage wall. Nontheless Nirvana bassist Krist Noveselic swept away the glass and played barefoot. Poster has scattered horizontal wrinkles and staple holes in each corner. Otherwise clean displaying beautifully. Extremely Fine. Among the best designs of any Nirvana poster or flyer.
Satyricon, the legendary Portland dive bar venue, became a mecca for the punk scene in Portland and in the late 80s and early 90s saw almost ever major act play on it's stage on their way up the ladder, a sort of CBGB of the West. Nirvana played the venue only three times, this show being their final appearance. The club is the place where Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love first met. In a 2015 Spin magazine article Zach Dundas wrote of the club "The written record of the club's existence-which can amount to no more than 1 percent of the Whole Truth-is a florid tale of excess, controversy, creative chaos. And, yes, artistic greatness."
