(there's an oat willies at the end of 5th street as it hits ih-35 on the west side isnt there?) anywho...i just met the man, jim franklin...woah! what a cool guy. didn't even know who he was when we were introduced. we had a long conversation about round houses. very surreal and cool. got his digits even. heh heh.

brian kroeker :

my guess is that a lot of people might not think hess is as clever?

So this image is a clever pun on the name of the band and it gets congrats all around, but Derek Hess gets slagged for the same thing around here. Hmmmm.

brian kroeker :

this is a great interpretation of the bands name. if not for sash's post, i would've said "oooohhhh, so that's where they got the name!".

rockologist :

the funny thing about this(to me, anyway) is that i know a lot of people who used to refer to austin as the 'velvet coffin'.

This is one of my favorites since it was added to the gigposter archive. I love that this is the featured poster- totally inspiring.

there are so many amazing new posters on the site that i immediately regretted putting this up as poster of the week. it caught my eye on the random poster a few days earlier... i thought it looked really modern. when you look at jim's other posters they look very 60's, whereas this one i found interesting because it seemed very current. also, i think i'm missing austin texas.

I love the poster, I love the band, but when was this show? From the thumbnail it looks like an art decco chair that you would buy at ikea.

Very cool! How long ago was this show? Is it from the 60's, or later?

"The Velvet Underground" was originally a book on the urban S&M scene. came out in the 50s or 60s.

2003-02-04 17:12:00

godisold :

really interesting. . .okay this might be a stupid question, is this the true meaning of Velvet Underground or....is it just some words put together

stinkbait :

This rules. Oatwillies is still in operation I believe. Off of 29th next to vulcan video. "onward through the fog!"

I proudly own one of these Jim Franklins. It has a flyer for Oat Willies, a bygone Austin head shop, on the reverse.
