Crazy Japanese R&R poster

This poster was for a gig by the Minnesota Voodoo Men, who, logically, are from Japan. One of the crop of wild wild Japanese garage rock n roll bands that are well worth checking out. The gig was a collaboration with the nice folks who run the very excellent FratHouse club night in Bristol. I wanted the poster to be a tip of the hat to the Screamin' Jay Hawkins-esque brand of American Voodoo in the way that the Minnesota Voodoo Mens' sound is a tribute to trashy 60s American R&R. I included potions, a monkey paw, chickens head, voodoo doll and other paraphernalia of any self respecting 60s american witchdoctor.  I kept the colours muted so the black and white pic of the band didn't look out of place.
