Gig Poster Website Theme for Music Venues and Record Shops

Gig Poster

Gig Poster looks like the bills pasted up outside a good small venue. Headlines are tall condensed capitals, everything else is set in a typewriter mono, and the ink is toner black on coloured poster stock. As a visitor scrolls, the page cuts from one stock to the next with no fade, the way a wall of posters changes as you walk past it. Photos print as two-colour duotones, so a phone snapshot from last night's show sits well beside the type.

Tall condensed capitals over a typewriter mono
Toner-black ink on newsprint, pink and yellow stock
Hard cuts between stocks as the page scrolls
Black and white photos print as two-colour duotones

Can Gig Poster list upcoming shows?

Yes. The upcoming events block is styled like the dates on a tour poster, and it can read from the site calendar.

Which color palette does Gig Poster start with?

Riso Red. Riso Blue, Newsprint and the dark Toner palette keep the same printed look.

Does Gig Poster need professional photos?

No. Phone photos from the room work well, especially set to black and white, which prints them as duotones.

The stage is a foot off the floor and the sound desk sits in the middle of the room, so the mix is the same at the back as it is at the front. There is no guest list and no VIP balcony, and tickets stay under twenty dollars.

New releases on Fridays, used records priced by hand, and a wall of seven-inches from bands who have played the room.

We buy collections too. Bring them in on a weekday morning.

Shows
Four or five nights a week, touring bands and local openers. Doors at eight unless the listing says otherwise.
Records
The shop opens at noon every day and closes when the first band goes on.
Private hire
The whole room for release shows, parties and screenings, Sunday to Wednesday.

Best monitor mix we had all tour, and the crowd knew the words to the new ones.
