An original poster announcing Dead Kennedys at the C.O.D. (Come on Down) club, Chicago, September 17-18, 1981.
Printed in black on thin pale brown cardstock. Illustrated with an outline of a human gun target. 45x28.2cm.
Presented by local promoter Eric Nihilist and MC’d by underground DJ (and former minister of propaganda for the White Panthers), Bob ‘Righteous’ Rudnick, the concerts, now regarded as the birth of the Chicago hardcore punk scene, brought Dead Kennedys together with Hüsker Dü, whose “Land Speed Record” album, recorded live in Minneapolis a month before, was subsequently issued on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label.
The lineup also featured the Effigies, Naked Raygun, and Strike Under, all of them local punk bands.
Old corner tack holes; small loss to lower right corner; discrete repair to right edge; lightly tanned, with partial offsetting to verso. Good.
