Here we have a poster that was produced for a 1998 concert by Nashville Pussy at La Luna in Portland. This was a very EARLY concert in the band's career. They were touring to support the group’s new debut album. The following year they were nominated for a Grammy. This is the first time we’ve offered this Original Poster in our auction! It was produced for hanging on telephone poles record store windows ticket agencies and coffee houses around town. Material from the pacific northwest is always considered special by collectors. They often tell a story all their own and have a different vibe than pieces from other parts of the country. “Telephone pole flyers” like this are highly collectible and are notably representative of the music loving culture that produced them. This poster is in Superb Museum Quality with no visible flaws of any kind!
