Red C, Youth Brigade, Minor Threat concert flier - Branding Iron Beef House, Arlington, Virginia, June 26, 1981
|
Description |
Photocopy of a promotional flier advertising a concert by the Washington, D.C. punk bands Red C, Youth Brigade, and Minor Threat. The other band on the bill was the Maumee, Ohio hardcore punk band Necros. The concert occurred at Branding Iron Beef House in Arlington, Virginia on June 26, 1981. The flier was designed by Tomas Squip, who later was the vocalist for the D.C. punk bands Beefeater and Fidelity Jones. Sharon Cheslow photocopied the original flier for the concert while conducting research in the 1980s for the book that she co-authored on the D.C. punk scene, "Banned In D.C." In a 2009 interview with the Washington City Paper, Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat observed that it was unusual for a punk concert to occur in Arlington at that time. "When we got there, things were a little bit punchy," he said. "I don’t remember exactly how things proceeded—I think people were out front [of the restaurant] throwing bottles at a construction site. But this was three blocks from the police headquarters. The cops just descended on us—they just went insane. They had dogs and everything."
