The Art of Rock

Nick Meyer |

It’s nice to see bands actually promote themselves with cool posters – because so many of them don’t. The kudos this time goes to the Jim Pullman Band for this huge three-foot-tall pop-art style poster promoting the all-ages gig they have this Friday, May 8 at the Grand Little Theater with Meridene and the Holy Rifles. Should be a good one.

What’s great is that this isn’t even a new band trying to make a name for themselves  – the Jim Pullman Band has been around for years – yet they still have the spark to put up an ambitious little poster every once in a while.  (And in this case, the ambition to print it on multiple pieces of paper and tape it all together to get the super-sized effect.) Is it the greatest piece of local rock and roll artwork ever? Not even close. But it works great none-the-less. Nice work guys.

We saw the poster flailing in the wind right before the last piece of tape gave out, so we snatched it up to put up at our office (hope that’s OK with you JPB).
