The Return of the YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS! Sat April 11th @ The American #Vancouver #Canada Tickets: eventbrite.ca/e/young-fresh-…

The Smugglers visit the Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa, '96, to commemorate February 3, 1959 (also The Day We & The Queers Got Very Stoned after searching for the plane crash site, only to find a grow-op hidden in a cornfield!! Full body stone story in "Dirty Windshields"!!)

(One of our biggest pet peeves was arriving at the venue and finding no advertising. Thankfully, the posters slowly got better and better over the years.) with a little help from this sheet!

We're digging for our Selling the Sizzle 30th anniversary vinyl, and found this gem... Graphics on this sheet became t-shirts, buttons, stickers, or "brands" for years to come. Thank you to Randy from Mint Records for making this way back! -GL lavasocksrecords.bigcartel.com/product/sellin…
