Item Description
8.5x11" offset print on uncoated thin cardstock produced before the show. PNW flyer promoting concerts in Seattle, WA at The Underground on Dec. 28 and 29, 1988 featuring Sub Pop artists. Lineup for Dec 28: Blood Circus, Tad, Thrown Ups, Swallow and Nirvana. Lineup for Dec. 29: Girl Trouble, Cat Butt, Steve Fisk, Terry Lee Hale, Nights & Days w/Sub Pop poet Jessie Burnstein listed as "Steven J. Bernstein" MC both nights. Art by underground comix icon Charles Burns, known for illustrating Sub Pop fanzine, RAW and comic series Black Hole. A detail of Burns's cover art for Sub Pop 200 is featured in bkg. Five staple holes, one near each corner and at center where a puncture hole was produced affecting the "29." Verso has four pieces of clear tape backing each corner staple hole and a surface paper lift at center where clear tape was removed. VG. Rare. An important flyer from the early days of Sub Pop featuring Nirvana as the opening act of day 1 events. To this point Nirvana had only released the single "Love Buzz" earlier in 1988. The inclusion of song Spank Thru on the three LP Sub Pop 200 compilation marked only their third release. The performance at the end of 1988 marked only the 24th gig played under the name Nirvana. Concert ephemera for Nirvana in 1988 is extremely scarce and this is one of the most graphically appealing pieces.
