Item Description
11x17" offset litho. on thin yellow stock. Original first printing. Design "By: Ryan Loiselle" of the band Machine. Featuring an image of Lon Chaney w/gnarly teeth. Promoting a Jan 20, 1990 concert at "Legends" in Tacoma, WA. A single pin hole at top center. Otherwise only light handling wear. Exc. Examples are pictured in the biography Come As You Are on p. 56, in an issue of Playboy magazine as part of a feature on the band as well as the documentary films Soaked In Bleach and Montage Of Heck. Tacoma is an important city in the band's history, as they performed some of their earliest shows there, and the gritty nature of the working-class city influenced the edginess of their sound helping define them from their Olympia and Seattle contemporaries. This show occurred at the beginning of 1990 seven months after the release of Bleach and despite being relatively early in their career it would ultimately be their final show in the city. An important artifact of the grunge era.
