God Awful Gig Flyers

There are just so many bad gig flyers out there and we feel the need to indulge in a bit of schadenfreude. If you have any terrible gig flyers you'd like to see on this blog, please email them to: godawfulgigflyers@gmail.com
‘Vizualography?’ Now there’s a cheesy name as well as a hideous logo. More font offences. Also, T&C apply, but not actually written down on the event page. Win!!

The usual culprit: font failure.

Facebook banners are the new flyers. I don’t see the point in the background picture here.

Anthrax have let themselves go if this is the quality of their promotion material.

1. wtf?

2. Resolution and composition means nothing to these people.

jadedpunk: godawfulgigflyers: You’ve got the Melvins playing, for fuck’s sake. Make an effort! Favorite blog of the day: Godawful Gig Flyers You know when you see a flyer for a show that is so awful it makes you want to skip the show because you don’t want to give your money to people too inept to use a computer? The flyers that have no grasp of things like “fonts,” or “resolution,” or “eyeballs”? Godawful Gig Flyers is a blog devoted to those MS Paint monstrosities. We are just discovering it now and it looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while but maybe if you send them some of the disasterpieces you’ve seen, they will update it more regularly. Hey, we’re Jadedpunk’s Blog of the Day! The local people whose flyers I was ridiculing realised what was happening and upped their game, so yeah, I’d be really grateful if people could send some new ones in, because we may have won the battle, but we’re still fighting the war!

Tera Melos: “Someone stole John’s backpack which contained his laptop and more importantly his passport from outside Il Motore in Montreal. It’s a long shot but if you have any info to help out it would be much appreciated.”

Help get the word out dudes. Stealing from bands/anyone is fucking low. Perhaps you have friends/followers who were in the area?

This was my favourite deliberately shit flyer made for the wonderful Dirty Otter by Luke O’Brien, purveyor of fine math rock over at Musical Mathematics. It’s got everything this one :D

Silhouettes make the world ROCK. Also, I love a lot of the artists playing this, so it’s a double tragedy. Remember, my facepalming is at the creator of these flyers and not at the artists themselves.
