Back by popular (?) demand, here are cool fliers from a recent show featuring Yucca and Lodge. The event was organized by a fanzine called Supernova!, whose latest issue's cover features a bikini lady carrying a red lightning bestriding a yellow Lamborghini Countach...
If I knew this event is anything like the illustration, I'd definitely go see it.

Kicking it under the aurora...
Pink-skinned Bad Boys...
Nice, colorful illustration.
This is a good, simple design.
Nice, yellow-tinted photo. Wonder what that structure is though?
Good, stylized green live shot.
And a stylized purple-red live shot (I think?).
I liked the design of this 'Home Sweet' 69 flier.

tight --adj 1 closely held, drawn, fastened, fitting, etc. ...
The dictionary gives several definitions for the word 'tight', but it doesn't have one for when people say this or that group is TIGHT. Yet it's not too rare a thing; a tight band is something that people know when they see it, a combination of experience, skills, confidence, and certain unexplainable factors. A tight band is thrilling to discover, and makes all the trips to rock clubs and all the times putting up with mediocre bands seem worth it.
Lodge was a tight band. I don't really even remember much about their show, except that it played funky alternative rock, and one of the members banged on a tiny, kid's drum set. But next time I see their name on a flier or a club schedule I'd be disposed to check out that show, because I know they are TIGHT.
Lodge
Yucca, who I saw for the third time or so, is also tight, though in a different way from Lodge, playing their artful pop with a light touch, especially the female drummer, who often only taps on the drums. I caught their members outside the Zher The Zoo after their show, buying beer from a convenience store next door and celebrating under a sprinkling sky. They were nice guys.
