Original Butthole Surfers I-Beam Concert Flyer — San Francisco, 1986
Original 1986 concert flyer for the Butthole Surfers at San Francisco’s legendary I-Beam, 1748 Haight Street, on Monday, August 11, 1986.
The flyer announces the KUSF/KALX Bay Area exclusive and also features Birdkillers, Chris Isaak, Nonfiction, and Ophelias, with advance tickets available at classic Bay Area record shops including Rough Trade, Revolver, Aquarius, Reckless and others.
This flyer comes directly from the personal collection of artist Winston Smith, who saved it from the era. Winston did not design or create the artwork for this flyer; it has simply been part of his personal archive for decades.
This is an original period flyer, not a reproduction, showing the unmistakable wear of a piece of punk-era ephemera that actually lived a life. Creases, wrinkles, handling marks, edge wear and surface imperfections remain intact rather than being restored away.
A great surviving artifact from the mid-1980s San Francisco underground music scene, when the I-Beam and Haight Street were still central stops for punk, experimental and alternative music.
