Painted Poster Advertising Psychedelic Band Locksley Hall at the Che House, Pasadena, 1971

Pasadena, California, 1971. Approximately 22 x 28 inch painting on heavy cardstock with 7 x 9 inch photograph affixed. Some spotting on a portion of the lower left; overall excellent.. Locksley Hall was a Spokane-based psychedelic rock group formed in 1967, who nearly had a record deal with Epic in 1969. The project was scrapped and was not rediscovered until 1996, when it was finally released by Indianapolis-based Or Records. This hand-painted poster advertises the band playing for “one night only” at the Pasadena Che House—likely a house venue, as the name suggests—in June of 1971, and notes that the band had previously played with Phil Ochs, “Eric Burden [sic] & War”, and others. A charming piece of independent music history.
