Jacked Up: Sleep Through The Static Posters

Written by Jack Spilberg on 09.22.2008 | Jack Johnson, Posters

We’d like to welcome yet another new member to our ever-growing Hidden Track staff, Jack Spilberg. Jack’s a longtime contributor to Glide’s main site where he’s written about Lyrics Born, Brett Dennen and Jack Johnson among others. Enough with the prelims, here’s Jack’s first column…

As a part of last summer’s Jack Johnson’s Sleep Through the Static Tour, a series of really slick-looking, limited edition concert posters were drawn up by select artists. According to Johnson’s site, the posters were printed up in numbered editions of only 300, and sold during the concert stops. You were lucky if you happened to score one of them during the tour, as they are not available for sale anywhere else right now. A full set of signed posters will supposedly be auctioned off sometime soon- check back on the site for a chance to place a bid.

It is not surprising that many of the artists involved with this concert poster art project are tied to the surf scene. While many of the designs have an organic, surfer-art vibe, there is a nice mix or urban and underground artists who give the poster series a more eclectic vibe.

Here’s a look at 12 of the 15 posters in the full set and links to the artists’ sites…

Briefly: Outside Lands

Written by Some Dude on 02.22.2008 | Jack Johnson, Outside Lands, Radiohead, Tom Petty

I thought we were in the clear without having to mention the words festival, Radiohead and Jack Johnson in the same sentence for a little while….Brief pause….Was that long enough? I think so. We’re already sick of talking about festies, and the season hasn’t even started yet. Today news surfaced about the Outside Lands Festival, which is scheduled to take place in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on August 22-24. As has become commonplace now, Radiohead and Jack Johnson will headline along with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
