This week in Music Geek features Green Day. Back on October 13th the local boys played an intimate hometown show at The Warfield. It was an amazing night. A special event shirt was sold at the gig, but the expected poster didn't happen... or did it?
#68 of 200
The band commissioned a limited edition of 200 posters to commemorate the night. Each was signed and individually numbered by the artist (Chris Bilheimer - Who also designed the American Idiot album artwork). As far as Umlaut knows, these were only given out within the Green Day inner circle. Trivia: The flag that makes up the background of the print was the band's backdrop when they hit the stage that night.
Printing was done by eco-friendly Drowning Creek Studio and this is honestly one of the nicest silkscreened Rock posters I've ever seen. It measures a Lock 'N Loll worthy 26 1/2" x 15" and the colors bleed together like a watercolor painting. No, it's not as hipster as a Kozik design, but the quality of the print and paper is better than most Kozik's I've ever seen.
Muchas gracias to Tour Manager Doug. The Geeks shall inherit the Earth.
