This poster has just emerged from a recently unearthed and long held collection of Texas material owned by a long time resident and participant of the Austin music scene! We are pleased to be offering this super rare piece in our auction for the FIRST TIME!
With a mix of comedy and Dixieland jazz influences Austin locals Balcones Fault named themselves after the fault zone in southwest-central Texas. The group played frequently at the Armadillo World Headquarters and after gaining much regional popularity appeared on the first season of Austin City Limits in 1976. This amazing original poster is from a 1976 show at the historic Armadillo along with the comedic mayhem of the Uranium Savages. The artwork design is a collaboration by the Savages frontman Kerry Awn and noted Austin artist Micael Priest.
Demand for Armadillo posters is currently at an all time high and we see this as just the early days in a long trend. This can be attributed to several reasons including scarcity historical significance as ground zero in the Texas psychedelic scene and the recently published book on the venue "Armadillo World Headquarters - A Memoir" by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett and forward by Dave Marsh.
