I was going through a stack of old fliers last night and found these two, which are among my favorite ever. I think it’s just the “rah-rah” lettering and the nonsensical pairing of bowling + loud indie rock.

damn, i miss that band.
what do you mean nonsensical? is there a greater height of indie-hipster-(try)rony than bowling?
HA! Good points. And gclark, get Alec Eiffel to make ‘em a myspace page! That way we can at least pretend!
I have a secret stash of Starkville fliers I ripped off of telephone poles. The blue one is one of them!
the myspace page is coming and will take a passive approach in the way of promotion. please send any jba-related photos or fliers that you might have (gorj, sally, gclark?) to johnblackattack@gmail.com. (

Wait—do we have to bowl ironically now? And does that mean not caring or caring a whole lot more than we really do? Or just pretending to care?
You know, I think I still have a copy of the yellow one. I also have a Garrison Starr poster you made.

thus the hipster conundrum: how does one care less while caring more?
Bowling shoes are way indie cool.
