TrÜdE : Teenbeat Takeover! Paul Collins Beat :

Here's a poster that I've created last evening for a show in Montreal:




Paul Collins Bio:
Paul Collins' Beat is a Los Angeles-based power pop outfit formed by Paul Collins (ex-Nerves). The Beat (as known originally) recorded its self-titled debut LP after signing to Columbia Records in 1979. Despite good reviews and some regional success, the album failed to make much impact. A second attempt, 1982's The Kids Are the Same (this time credited to Paul Collins' Beat), also failed and effectively broke up the band. However, Collins returned the following year with a harder-rocking lineup including Patti Smith Group drummer Jay Dee Daugherty. Their EP, To Beat or Not to Beat, was again ignored; it proved to be the band's last recording. While it seemed that the Beat's only claim to fame would be forcing the (English) Beat to change its name in the U.S., their albums are now seen as classic examples of power pop.

Gentleman Jesse also plays the bass for the Carbonas, Atlanta-based garage punk darlings, and put out several 7"s on the great Douuchemaster label but it was the last year's Gentleman Jesse and His Men LP that finally earned him the critical acclaim as the best modern power pop act.

Alors que le gouvernement Harper annonce des coupes à blanc dans la culture canadienne, les soldats de la paix prennent les armes.
Tour à tour, ils portent leurs voix à l'écrit, et laissent "un p'tit mot pour notre culture".

You can now play the Geek-O-Meter yourself!!!

Well, it's now online. It was really fun to work on that project.
http://www.marketingmag.ca/dma/

Here's a review and the credits:

"La tradition voulant qu’un des coprésidents développe la campagne publicitaire de l’événement, cette année, pizza4all et ses amis de bluesponge signent une campagne mix délurée (imprimé et interactif) démontrant qu’on gagne tous à réveiller le geek qui sommeille en chacun de soi. Cette campagne en deux volets (période d’inscription et vente des billets du Gala) aura comme pierre angulaire le bientôt célèbre Geek-O-Meter, un outil scientifique permettant de mesurer très précisément son taux de geekomie et d’en communiquer fièrement les résultats à ses amis."
