Yes, we know that we’ve already posted a flier in this week’s Pole Position, but since we didn’t get around to posting one last week and since, thematically, this one seems to go hand in hand with the Taun Taun flier, we thought you might give us a pass. This…
The design for this Taun Taun flier is simple yet eye-catching as heck. The act’s logo serves as the focal point for this handbill touting the band’s CD-release show at the Bluebird on Friday, March 6. There’s just something about the earthy simplicity that perfectly represents the straightforward yet primal…

Considering the frequent hosannas tossed in the direction of old-school, hand-drawn fliers, it should come as no surprise that the flier this week that flipped our wigs was one that we stumbled across from Minor Authority touting a gig at the Gothic this past August. The primitive lettering and pencil…

Yeah, I know we already had a flier of the week, on Tuesday (and a kick-ass flier it was, too). I also realize the show this flier is advertising is already over, as of last night. But I absolutely could not resist giving this flier some props. It’s awesome. I…

I pretty much fell in love with the pop-art styled hippy/hottie take on Shiva (I think that’s Shiva — my Hindu mythology is a little shaky) on this U.S. Pipe CD release poster the second I saw it. The style, the subject matter, the detail — all brilliant! Good to…
