*** NEW COPY *** TITLE SHIPPED FROM US *** Pages: 160, Exploding with color, Swag is an introduction into the world of concert poster art from the past decade, and a look at the cutting-edge music for which it was created. Sandwiched between the glitz of glam rock and the bombast of bling-bling, rock music in the 1990s sounded off against record-industry commercialism in favor of a new stripped-down, do-it-yourself aesthetic. Disenchanted by the over-produced pop sensations of the 1980s, bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sebadoh, and Sonic Youth began to emerge from relative obscurity into the limelight of music videos, magazine covers, and festivals with their raw amped-up sounds that only bass, drums, and guitars could make. It was a time when, on many levels of popular culture, the underground seized control of the mainstream. In alternative arts communities from Seattle to New York, it seemed that nearly everyone was in a struggling band or lending a hand to one. Meanwhile, that same DIY spirit was driving those whom had been enlisted - budding graphic artists, band members, among others - to create the concert flyers, posters, and other promotional materials that directed the fan bases to the plethora of performances. They too were stripping away the gloss, reducing the methods and the medium until only the essentials were left. A new kind of rock poster had emerged and it broke at least as many established rules as the bands it was designed to promote. During the course of the 1990s, artists, musicians and fans began to re-conceive the art of poster making, turning away from the mass-produced products of corporate rock to re-embrace the DIY aesthetic of the punk era. With more than 250 posters by over 50 designers, this book is an introduction to the world of the concert poster art of the 1990s and the cutting-edge music it was created for - from Nirvana and Pearl Jam to Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground.

An outrageous mix of indie cool, punk-retro aesthetics, camp, and kitsch, the concert posters of the 1990s became so wildly popular that they took on a life of their own, sometimes outshining the rock bands they were created to promote. Not only are they avidly collected today, but an annual two-day convention known as Flatstock now exists to celebrate the works of the leading artists and designers. Exploding with color and bold graphics, this awesome collection of the best rock posters of the decade is the only book in print that examines and illustrates this important movement in graphic design. Teeming with more than 250 posters by over 50 designers, Swag is a groundbreaking introduction to the world of concert poster art, and a look at the cutting-edge music it was created for, from Nirvana and Pearl Jam to Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground. The visionaries of the genre are all here, including Frank Kozik, Coop, Jermaine Rogers, Stefan Sagmeister, and Brian Ewing. An insightful foreword by Art Chantry, Seattle's iconoclastic genius of rock poster design, accompanies this collection of visually arresting images compiled by noted author and designer Spencer Drate. Together, they honor the free-thinking politics, angst, and imagination of rock culture of the past decade through the present day. AUTHOR BIO: Spencer Drate, creative director, designer, and author, has created award-winning CD packaging for Bon Jovi, Lou Reed, the Ramones, U2, the Velvet Underground, and Talking Heads, among others. He has written several books, received many design awards, and been interviewed by numerous publications and networks such as MTV, VH1, and Fox. He lives in New York City. Art Chantry, heralded as one of the kings of graphic design in the rock and punk-rock community, has been producing posters, album covers, ads, logos, and magazine covers since 1978. He has been both the subject and author/illustrator of several books on graphic design and the Seattle punk culture. He lives in St. Louis. 160pp. Grade A. Brand new - never been read.
