Ice T

Ice-T, the original gangster, doing two nights in Dublin back in 2004. One big gig and then a small club gig. Would have been cool to see him in the 350 capacity CrawDaddy. I thought this poster was pretty good at the time, but I look at it now... ugh, it's awful.

Big Dance Night

Here's a poster from 2008. Its for a big three-room dance night. The brief was to get across that there is loads of stuff going on, obviously the hands represent the three rooms. Pretty basic stuff but I've always liked this one.

Racine

Back in 2007, Racine played a gig in Dublin. Here's the ultra simple poster for it.

Damien Dempsey (The Homecoming Shows)

In 2004 Irish, I suppose, singer songwriter Damien Dempsey did a few gigs in a hotel in North Dublin. He would have been a regular in Whelan's and I think he might have been playing in Vicar Street around then too so quite unusual for someone in his position at the time to do this.

Run DMC

Here we go, an old one, this is from 2001. Run DMC playing Dublin and Cork back in the day. This is another 2 colour billboard poster, not sure why all the ticket details are missing from this file. Or why RUN DMC is not centered between the two red lines!

Grant Willard Conspiracy

For a little while I was doing billboard posters in full colour, this is one of them. Grant Willard Conspiracy from April 2006 supported here by Patrick Freyne, he ex of National Prayer Breakfast and El Diablo and now writing for one of Ireland's national newspapers, I can't remember which one. Anyway, they were a good band, Patrick is a good songwriter.

Neville Staple

And old one, from 2004, Neville Staple of the Specials did two nights in the newly opened CrawDaddy.

Saul Williams (again)

... and here's Saul Williams again, this time from May 2008. This was full on Niggy Tardust which was the album he did with Trent Reznor that was famously available for free or a $5 voluntary price. Good stuff.

Ted Leo (again!)

Big push at the moment to get Ted Leo to win the music section of the Shorty Awards. At the moment he's at no. 2, right behind Britney Spears. "A battle for the ages" as Scharpling said. If you're on Twitter, vote Ted!

I've posted the A3 version of this one before but here is the billboard version. It's from 2008 and it's the only one of my posters I have up in my office.

Saul Williams

Here's a Saul Williams poster from 2005. This was before the days of Trent and Niggy.

Jay Reatard R.I.P.

I heard last night via Twitter that Jay Reatard has died. Really sad stuff. Here's a poster from November 2008 when Jay was playing during the Green Synergy festival. This show didn't actually happen, it was postponed, I must say I was glad at the time because this quickly done poster is really poor.

Soundcloud Test

Rubbish Coffee by largemound

I just set up a Soundcloud account for the Large Mound. I'm just testing out the whole thing so when this has finished processing you should be able to listen to the song Rubbish Coffee right here.
