Here we have Psychobilly pioneers The Cramps headlining these shows at the Moore Theatre in Seattle & the Pine Street Theatre in Portland and this poster was produced by artist Mike King to promote the 1990 events. The Cramps got their start in New York many years prior during CBGB's early punk scene with other emerging acts like the Ramones Television and Blondie.
