Additional artwork for the Electric Frankenstein - Frankensongs Rarities compilation from Black Lodge Relics - Version 1

Here is another exciting project: some additional artwork for the superb Electric Frankenstein compilation available here put together by Nik on his consistently excellent and highly recommended Black Lodge Relics blog. EF are one of my all time favourite bands. When I lived in France, I used to order almost everything that I could get in vinyl by EF and the Hellacopters from the excellent and still running site Sugar and Spice Mailorder Service.

Nashville Pussy Live at The Bell House Brooklyn, NY 17 Oct 2013 - Version 1

Here is some artwork for another excellent live recording by Nashville Pussy , from 2013 with the beautiful Bonnie Butrago on bass. I got it - again - from the no less excellent blog heavybootz. This time it is an audience recording, yet the quality is very good. Drthc had the courteousy to provide  a new link for this boot so... as usual, grab it here while you still can! The live pictures are - alas! - not from the original concert but from a later gig in Austin, TX (2014) ... So, I might work on a newer version very soon, using some of the illustrations provided by drthc in his post.

Messer Chups - Volgafest, Samara, Russia - 10 June 2021

 






Messer Chups Live at ВРЕМЯ N 4 December 2021, St. Petersburg, RUSSIA

 A recent live show by this two decade-old Russian surfabilly band which mixes several influences and with which I have become acquainted only recently. I have cannibalised Rockin' Eugene's original artwork for their latest studio album Visiting the Skeleton in the Closet and the ads and poster advertising the show.
