Burnt Hickory Brewery made a batch of Die Kreuzen October File Fest Beer (scroll down to Oct. 13 post). While it's not for sale and only given out to the band members, Keith Brammer said it was pretty good stuff.
A big thanks and hearty handclasp to Uncle Larry for these amazing posters from 2009.
Our pal Carter Hunnicutt sent us a slew (yes I said SLEW) of XCleavers posters from his collection. Check out the amazing artwork by Tom Holleran, especially the "Marquee" poster.
We received the very sad news that musician and Flipville record shop owner Geoff Worman died on Friday, April 30. Geoff was a member of several bands including The Ghostly Trio. His record/collectibles shop Flipville on Farwell Ave. was a treasure trove of music and pop culture items. He will be sadly missed; our thoughts go out to his family.
We've added some new posters here and there HOWEVER, there is STILL a ton of posters, photos, videos, music to post. If anyone would like to volunteer their help in scanning, posting and updating the web site, please contact me.
Cheap Trick at Humpin' Hanna's with InA Hot Coma, circa 1974 (?). We got this amazing artifact from Martin Miller and Martin Krohne. Krohne recalls the night:
"Our biggest gig was backing up Cheap Trick. At it, Presley Haskel, lead singer, wore skin tight leopard skin pants.
And he liked to jump around a lot onstage.
What Presley didn't realize was that the seam of his pants split just enough to show off more than he had planned.
This lead Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick to thereafter refer to him as
The King of Milwaukee dick rock."
