I'm going to have bad dreams tonight. This poster is so memorably creepy that I can overlook the apparent failed attempt at a literal interpretation of the headliner's band name. But knitted-vs.-woven... Continue reading "Poster Of The Week: Woven Hand, True Widow, Shiny Around The Edges At Club Dada" >
