As Blonski and I continue to “wrap up” the fourth season of Duck House, I spent a minute or two looking at the cover art for the upcoming album. For some reason, this jogged my memory of a few of the Black Velvet show posters I made years ago and figured sifting through them a bit to revisit old times might be a fun exercise. It’s probably not the worst idea to get them up on the SGP blog for posterity’s sake too. So, without further ado, behold! The Black Velvet show posters in reverse chronological order. As a bonus, I’ve included the letter from our apartment complex that cancelled Willi-Oaks fest II. Typical The Man.
My favorites are the Ketchup vs. Mustards and the Marilyn Monroe picture signed to Don, the manager at the Hungry Tiger in Manchester. I don’t think he ever framed it and hung it up, unfortunately. Thanks to Carmen Zambrano for contributing a sweet sketch to the Jim Beam Me Up Tour. Finally, that All-Stars poster is a total ripoff of Witch Season and Dead Diamond River.
New music soon!
