Accidental Mysteries
Editor’s Note: This Friday we’re diving in to our archives to show you something fun. John originally posted this exactly four years ago, on February 19th, 2012. Enjoy!
This collection of underground music and culture events flyers come from the personal online collection of Chicago collector Marc Fischer. Most of them are from metal and hardcore shows, in particular. Many are from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh from the mid-late 1980s and early 1990s. Others were collected from other cities during the same time period or were mailed to me by friends around the country. You can see more of these rare flyers on his Flickr site here.
