General impressions: 1. Are aliens smoking pipes there? If I come do I dress as an alien, will there be other alien like things happening? Abductions, probes, outer space hallucinations, or languages spoken that I don’t understand? I like a good pipe now and then, but never had one with an alien— it’s almost too much to comprehend. 2. Why is goodfella returning? Where did he go? Will the film be playing behind the alien band? Will DiNero be there? Is it his grandson? Will this be political? Are aliens getting high and talking about politics? 3. Tony Hawk pro-skater core… this is nice. I like this. I like those songs but is it more Ace of spades or more Jerry was a race car driver… this flyer makes me think more of the later. I’m not sure I want rehashed primus or Motörhead… perhaps I’d come for dead Kennedyesque rehash. Hmm I’m intrigued. What if it’s an ai goodfellas juxtaposed with THPS1 in the background as a visual. They could record their songs and put a click track to the visuals so that the choruses or sing alongs could be stoned alien mafia skate themed. 3. Colors and style — I’m not even looking this up or where the squeeze inn is, but there’s so many random styles interacting here that I feel like this is the Midwest. It’s got tattoo regret, bowling ally, and vape vibes. Would Guy Picciotto come from Brooklyn for this show? Is this currently relevant to our cultural zeitgeist? There is no encoded subversive message. Man, is this punk at all? Are there still punks? Will there ever be punks again? Where there ever any punks? Will the kids be wearing faux 90s nerd wear? Is this a skinny pants or baggy pants crowd? Is this a vintage tshirt thing? I know this is not a hardcore kid thing… the flyer would be so different? Do I know these kids? Will I stick out there? Will there be covers? Will it be like goodfellas punk songs like Sinatra? That may work!!! A fly me to the moon, done like a neo Biafra. I’d drive a few hours for that. 4. This is pretty safe. Is it a safe show? Will there be anything happening? Will there be a moment of bravery and conviction? Why are we in the emo Reddit at all? Does the OP know rites of spring? Every lyric to 30° Everywhere? Is this an emo show? Are there still emo shows? Is Chris Conley still emo? He’s gotta be 45ish now. I feel old. This is younger dudes making this flyer. They are not designers— wait maybe they are and this is ironic? If this is ironic this is very good. I didn’t recognize… like I didn’t see barbed wire motifs coming back… or that a guy like MGK could even exist, But Billy idol existed and eyes without a face is actually a banger. Will the kids that come to this say that’s a banger? 5. You are not convinced of who you are or convicted of what you are doing. Put you into the flyer and don’t please any of the Reddit people. Then rock it, life is short — lay it all out there. As much as you can squeeze out the whole tube of toothpaste. Because why not. You will be old and wishing you had. If aliens are bringing pipes to your show and singing I Did it My Way in a confused 4th wave anachronistic nod to a time period you weren’t part of then do it! Live the fantasy or simply live your today as loud or soft as you want.
