Fall tour has come and gone for our new favorite band, Goose. However, the dazzling foil and magical imagery that's on our walls is giving us all the feels of fall and memories of an incredible evening together in Chicago, IL.

Marq Spusta, a name that most poster collectors know, created the incredible piece for that show and we do a deep dive with the man himself, finding easter eggs (did you find them?) and talking about the merch game that Goose has been perfecting the last few years.

We're BACK BABY. 2025 Tour opener starts tonight for the Dave Matthew's Band, and Goose kicks off soon, so we thought what better a time to recap where we've recently been, check in with the MERCH game from a few new bands we've recently had the pleasure to go to see (Billy Strings, Pearl Jam to name a few).

We chat free-flowing about our impressions from a collectors perspective, and what we're really excited about seeing on the road in 2025. Mike is beyond thrilled with the new @rockswell_ design for DMB tour 2025 shirt, and Erica is ready for more poster game fodder and fan made merch on the road.

The Pod will be out starting 6/3 in Las Vegas, NV to see @goosetheband and then 6/6-7 in Denver, CO at the famous Fiddler's Green Amphitheater. 6/17 in Wilmington, NC and then to see @davematthewsband in Charleston, SC on 6/20-21.

We hope to see you on the road! Who are you excited to see in 2025?

What a FUN conversation today with one of our favorite artists, Andrew Sax from @somesaxyart!! We loved chatting with Andrew (or Saxy as his friends call him) and doing a deep dive on his VIP print from Goosemas 2024! Andrew is a true lover of music and artist, drawing inspiration from the tunes, the vibes and the joy that the music brings him. We learned about Andrew's growth within the gig poster industry, coming up through the Lot scene and creating posters for the bands he loved to go see!

We did a deep dive as well into the Goosemas print from 2024, as well as chatted about what inspires Andrew, what keeps him coming back for more.

And yes, the monkeys do work their abdominals (not work at Domino's).

Check out Andrew's work on Instagram @somesaxyart and his website www.somesaxyart.com and look for Andrew out on tour with his favorite bands this summer!
