Junior Citizens Are Zero Stars

Last week I mentioned in a trackoday post that The Poster Children were one of my favorite bands. Well, they are and have been for a very long time.

I was introduced to them in 1995 by an acquaintance (his name escapes me now) who had picked up a floppy disk that the band was handing out at a concert. Since he didn’t own a computer, he left the disk at my house. Eventually, curiosity got the better of me and I popped it into my Power Macintosh 7100 and double-clicked the little multi-media application (I think it was made with Adobe Director). I was blown away by what I heard and saw. Turns out that the Poster Children are DIY computer geeks and had done all the programming, graphics, and design themselves.

I’ve been following the band closely ever since, including a mind-blowing show at The 7th Street Entry where they opened for Archers Of Loaf.

Best… show… ever.
