james hall and the futura bold

recently my friend and mayor of torture town, had a house show with james hall. well, i had the pleasure of attending and folks, this guy is amazing. doug asked me to create a poster for his upcoming pourhouse show. and he is bringing his band along, the futura bold. this will be one to remember. don't miss it! futura bold is also a font not to be reckoned with.
read on:

Former Pleasure Club and Mary My Hope frontman and musically diverse artist/performer James Hall brings his band The Futura Bold to Charleston in support of their latest self titled album. If you know Hall, then you know a JH performance is more than a show. It's a sacred experience; truly a seductive revelation where spirits from the light and the shadows are conjured into a hallowed arena and the electric energy generated is of mythic proportions. Heavy, spiritual, intense stuff indeed.

With Torture Town and L Brown Odyssey in support, this will be the Rock Show of the year. You will not want to miss this one.

The Pour House
$7 (American)
Doors at 9pm
L Brown Odyssey - 10pm sharp
Torture Town - 11pm sharp
James Hall and the Futura Bold - 12pm sharp

Save the date, call the babysitter, ask off work on the 11th, take your zoot suit to the cleaners, ready your bail money.

charley

the local reformed synagogue (KKBE), of which my lovely wife is the song leader and youth advisor, asked me to help them out with their newest tshirts. the story of the rhino is a long one so i won't get into that -- i think the rest is self explanatory. the kids were my art directors, they were awesome. thanks guys.
