Print Tease | The Raconteurs – Rob Jones

06/03/2008  |  4 Comments

I had the chance to catch The Raconteurs this weekend with my buddy Dave from Earvolution. I was definitely psyched to see Jack White and co. again, but I must admit, when Dave said he had an extra ticket I was almost equally excited to see what Rob Jones... more

Print Tease | The Alamo Drafthouse

I was trolling through the recently uploaded posters on gigposters, waiting for something to jump out at me for this week's Print Tease, and surprisingly nothing did. Sure, there were some fine posters buried in there, but nothing grabbed me. So I decided to take this week to... more

Print Tease | Wilco – Crosshair

I have a nasty habit of taking photographs without people in them. In fact, I prefer landscapes, plants, and especially buildings. Truth is, people can ruin pictures sometimes. Maybe one person isn't looking, or another closed their eyes. Some might see these imperfections as human, something to... more

In Drymount! and Print Tease I've looked at artists and bands who have had long productive relationships. Pearl Jam and Ames Bros. have been working together for over 10 years; Rob Jones shapes the White Stripe's image almost as much as Jack White does. Another really fruitful combination... more

I was mulling a few options for Print Tease this week. Then gigposters had an update and I had a clear cut winner, Guy Burwell's poster for The Cure. I couldn't care less about the band, but I couldn't be more excited for this poster, I think this... more

Print Tease | Islands + Man Man – Jeff Brooks

As I think I've discussed before, I often see gig poster artists split into two categories: Illustrators and Designers. This is, of course, an over-simplification; many illustrators have a great sense of design, and lots of designers can draw. However, when looking through the pages and pages of... more

Print Tease | Spoon – strawberryluna

By all accounts Spoon are a pretty good band to work with. That's probably why they've had a number of posters done for them -- a lot of really good posters. Everyone from Aesthetic Apparatus to Todd Slater to The Decoder Ring have tried their hand at the... more

Print Tease | The Dirtbombs – Rob Jones

04/07/2008  |  4 Comments

It didn't take me long to pick out our first Print Tease on its regularly scheduled day. Any fans of the White Stripes or The Raconteurs are sure to be familiar with the artwork of Rob Jones. His fingerprints have been all over the meticulously designed images of... more

This is a preview of the new Print Tease feature on Live Music Blog. Beginning Monday, each week I'll be looking at a new poster that's caught my eye, usually for a recent or upcoming gig. Tons of great posters are being produced every week for concerts all... more
