Show Poster of the Week - Sudie, War Party, The Cush at Barcadia

Once a week FWN features a show poster from the Fort.

This week we are delighted to feature Cody Soape's dreamcicle of a poster for a show taking place Monday Dec. 19th at Barcadia (Fort Worth location, duh!). The astral lineup of Sudie, War Party, and The Cush make this gig poster extra sidereal. 

The ice cream cone-shaped design cross-pollinates divinely with the stratified imagery of planet Earth's delicious layers. My eyes wish to devour their way down to the seaweed flavored bottom, but alas, my ravenous craving is counter-balanced by my desire to slowly take in every inch of strata as I move down its celestial ladder slide.

The Frank Stella/Peter Max-ish color palette drive it home for me. The colors man, the colors. My word. Artists like Cody Soape make our job easy.

Side bonus: below are some music viddyoze from the night's lineup - see you fellow Fort Worthians Monday.

about the word writer person:

Prewitt Scott-Jackson writes Dad poetry & short fiction when he's not hyping and typing for Fort Worth Noise. His writing can be found in Ghost City Press (New York), Five 2 One Magazine (Los Angeles), Prairie Schooner (University of Nebraska Press) and Sick Lit Magazine (Texas), among others. He prefers short walks on the beach because – and I quote – “It’s really hard to walk on sand.”

Show Poster of The Week - Pinkish Black, Wire Nest, Programme at Lola's

This week we drum up attention to the above eerie poster for a show taking place at Lola's featuring a hell of a lineup in Pinkish Black, Wire Nest, and Programme. Jon Teague of Pinkish Black designed this beauty himself.

If you can manage, I'm gonna wax philosophical a bit about the infectious nature of this piercing design...

Human ears without context are strange-looking, right? Like, ears attached to a head; cool, I can dig it. But ears on their own? Strange-looking to say the least. If this poster design doesn't gain your attention I'm not sure what will. 

And that's the express purpose of gig posters, right? They want your eyes.

In this case, it took a pair and a half of ears to win over my eyes; I find myself unable to stop looking at these beautifully displaced ears.  

Anyways, this show right hear gonna be a killer time at Lola's. Hope I didn't muff this post, we still best buds?

Show Poster of the Week - The Confounded Album Release Show at Lola's

This week we highlight a gem of a poster designed by Mean Motor Scooter's drummer Jeffrey Chase.

First off, if aliens are involved, count us in. Like, way in. 

Secondly, the juxtaposition of modernity's apex (alien technology) and the natural innocent wonderment of the Pacific Northwest landscape (assuming that's a depiction of Mt. St. Helens) helps create a visual that insta-connects the viewer with humanity's inherent neverending clash of modernity vs. the sacred. 

Plus, I like the colors.

Blackbox & JJTM host Saturday night's event. Be there or be.. rhombus?
