Mine Shaft gig flyer by Hanz Openschut

Date Released 9/15/2011 Sales 8 Listens 4

The year was 1994. Hanz had been playing bass for a number of bands in Thunder Bay's thriving punk community when he got the call.

That call came from Johnny Wonderz who straked the guitar for Ontario's most notorious punk outfit, Pout.

Pout had recently lost their horse addled leader and bassist to his addiction and Wonderz had been checking out Hanz at various shows.

It was a match made in Heave...er...Hel...uh...Anarchy. Wonderz and drummer Lanny X were already a lethal combination of angst and energy, but the addition of Hanz Openschut on bass and vocals propelled Pout to the top of The Ontario underground.

Hanz's first gig with Pout was at the storied Mine Shaft club in Sudbury.
Pout headlined the show with openers Of Chaos, The Immortals, Gypsies and The Volcanos. It is widely regarded by those in the scene as one of the greatest punk shows of it's time.

-------------------------

Lanny designed most of Pout's flyers and he had a habit of finding albums by bands he hated at thrift stores, using the album cover as background for his flyer. For this show we find him making a decided mockery of a certain iconic 70's album of fluff pop crap.
After Xeroxing copies to pass out, the original album cover designs were often left in bathroom stalls of seedy dives to be found by unsuspecting patrons.
This one recently resurfaced at an estate sale of a wealthy collector of music memorabilia. UncleDuffRecords has made Xerox prints of the original available to fans with this limited run collectable.

*as a special reward - the first person who can name the album cover defaced in Lanny's flyer will receive a download code for 3 songs recorded off the board at the Mine Shaft gig.
