Show Flyers - 1996/1997


Here are 4 flyers from the early days at The Western Front. The flyer on the lower left was the first "real" flyer we ever did. We walked in to Biscuithead Records one day and asked if they wanted to be our sponsor (back when I was doing the hand-drawn flyers seen below). Bruno was down, but politely said, "you need to do better than this," and hooked us up to get his boy Adam/Res-One to design the flyer. Biscuithead was a sponsor off and on for years --- and even though their records were EXPENSIVE, they had the best bootlegs and all the latest underground.

This was also the first flyer that featured Pimpgear as a sponsor. Pimpgear was around before we were even serious about doing anything. I met Rocky at a party (and later married his sister!), and he offered to throw us some t-shirts as an event sponsor. This began a long friendship and partnership ---- nobody repped Pimpgear more than we did.

We also have an EDO.G show --- We were so freakin' gassed to do that show, even though we lost money because the weather was horrendous. The flyer was done by Target from Steelo Magazine. I had to drive to an ATM after the show to pay him. I tried to convince him to just come back for a different show, but he wasn't having it! We became good friends later, and managed his career for a number of years.

Check the God Complex flyer .... Esoteric, 7L & Karma ---- ah the good old days.
