Mission of Burma

 Here is the poster for the Mission of Burma show this Saturday at the Black Cat. They will have Versus opening and performing their entire album VS. This takes me back to my Boston days.
 
 The poster is 3-colors, screenprinted on thick recycled cream paper. The first printing of this got destroyed and only 40 survived. We are reprinting them but until then you can see details at El Jefe Design

Any chance you'll have these at Crafty Bastards in Silver Spring?

yeah, I will have roughly five left for the Crafty Bastards Fair including work for Harry and The Potters, The Raveonettes, Wilco, foo Fighters, and other bands.
 
 There are also five that will be featured and sold at  Civilian Art Projects  along with a bunch of other posters. That exhibit opens Friday and will rule. These ten for sale are from the first series and I think the second series will be officially for sale on Monday.
 
 Thank you for the interest.

I'm being bored-stalked! Help, Kosmo!  :)
 
 Pretty sure if it's gonna be anything, it'll be this since Thievery floors are all gone.

:D      :D      :D      :D   What.  A.  Show!!!  Best one I've seen so far this year.  I heard about MOB's shows since they reunited being stellar but wow, they just killed it tonight.  They owned the stage.  They owned the crowd.  Oh yea, those songs they played weren't half bad either.     ;)    They looked like they were having a blast playing them.  I've always loved Vs but after hearing it all live, I've got a newfound appreciation for it.  It was great to hear some tracks from Obliterati too since I missed them on their last tour.  90 minutes, 2 encores + Academy Fight Song!  Terrific show!!  Only thing missing was a Boston hardcore band opening and stage divers.
 
 Azaghal, please tell me you went to this show and skipped Thievery!

Yes I did go to this show and skipped Thievery.
 
 
 It was the first time I've ever heard an album played live from start to finish. Very solid show. Very happy with my decision.
 
 I'd love to see Bob Weston back in dc along with Steve Albini and Todd Trainer soon. Seth? Please?

My 3rd MOB show and the best! First time seeing Roger without the rifle-range earphones. This will probably be on top of my best-of-2008 list also (at least for now    :)   )
 
 Highlights for me?  "New Nails", "Einstein's Day", "Weatherbox" and holy shit that version of "Donna Sumeria" that's 100 times better than  on record!  But you know they pretty much killed on every song!
 
   :D

Yeah I was thinking they'd play it for sure when they came back for the 2nd encore.

umm, I wasn't expecting it. In fact I wasn't even expecting any songs from Signals, Calls and Marches EP cause that's another show...but they did some anyway, just not Revolver.

Same.  I actually wasn't even expecting Academy Fight Song since it hadn't been played at their other Vs. shows.
