I don't remember a whole lot about this one either, another CMU show. Run On had broken up at this point but Sue and RIck were touring together, not doing a Fish & Roses reunion but playing separately. Les Batteries I believe was originally a project that featured Charles Hayward instead of Rick Brown, though I didn't know this at the time. All I remember about it...

The Pittsburgh Sound was a project organised by John Roman of Microwaves/The 1985 fame, which was modeled after a thing in Chicago called The Chicago Sound, which I think Weasel Walter started and looked to franchise. The Pittsburgh Sound was about 10 people who would play along to a mix CD of carefullly curated classic rock songs, which was played back through the monitors for us to...

A battered but intact poster from a concert at CMU that I remember attending my freshman year of University. Doug Mousrak who I am still friends with organised this and designed the poster, which has a lovely, shimmery metallic feel to it that probably doesn't come across well in the scan. This was a great concert, as I was quite a fan of Apples in Stereo at the time, liked the...

Here's the first of several posters from the 2006 Lied Music tour with Ben Reynolds (all shows documented on the promotional poster). I guess Phil Todd made this poster since he booked the show. Hardly anyone turned up and we didn't play particularly well from what I remember. Ashtray were rather blisteringly loud in a good way. I'll always have a soft spot...
Lied Music / Ben Reynolds tour promotional poster

Luke made these posters which we mailed to all of the people promoting the different shows across the UK. I liked how he did this - it certainly fit in with the aesthetic of the old tape reels and low-budget yet distinctly 1960s/70s feel that we were going for. You can see this particularly in his artwork for the LP we never put out. Scanned 25 July 2010.
