Punk rock handbills / ephemera is an interesting area of preservation - - NSFW...ish

I'd prefer the old-time jazz handbills, or from the swing era bands. But that stuff is $$.

Punk era bands from the 1980's and 90's are still new enough and not valued too highly to make them prohibitive to collect. And, as I said before, I'm not a collector, I'm an archivist. So, I don't care if they are the physical paper or hi-res digital scans. 

I got into the punk era handbills as an offshoot from my mimeo revolution / beatnik era work. Handbills from that era are also pricey, so I looked into what was affordable to work with. 

 

 

Anyone ever been to the Cathay De Grande when they were operating in Hollywood?

Sounds like a crazy place in its heyday. It would have been nice to have some video / film / photos from that era. I lived a few miles away. But I wasn't into it at the time. 

Anyone collect punk rock or mimeo revolution ephemera?  Or what sort of ephemera are you interested in?
