Description

This vibrant Alan Forbes concert poster was created for the April Fool’s Day 2000 show featuring The Demonics, The Idiots, and The Nads at El Rio in San Francisco. Printed at Firehouse and hand-signed and numbered by Forbes, the artwork showcases his unmistakable hot-rod–meets–punk aesthetic—an aggressive, cartoon-charged visual language that became a defining look of Bay Area underground posters at the turn of the millennium. Issued as a signed and numbered edition of 350, this example is numbered 293 and bears the Firehouse imprint, underscoring its authenticity as a true period piece from the era. With its bold color palette, snarling devil imagery, and April Fools’ Day reference, the poster captures both the irreverent spirit of the bands and the peak of Forbes’ early-2000s concert work, making it a standout acquisition for collectors of West Coast punk, garage, and modern rock poster art.
