The poster pictured here advertises a night of performances at Le Club Hit in Seattle by four Northwest-based bands: Life in General, also known as X-15 and founded in 1979 by Kelly Mitchell, Todd Fuhs, and Eric Alton; Young Pioneers founded in 1982 by Chris Pugh, Brad Sweek, Bryan Learned, Scott Vanderpool, Colm Meek, and Sasha Parks; Vexed, founded in 1984 by Milton Garrison and Alfred Butler; and Sound Color, which featured Dale Lloyd, David Tobin, Kelly Mickelson, Mark Bader, and Mark Holt.
Le Club Hit was a venue at 935 Westlake Avenue North that operated as a batting cage by day and a dance club by night from 1983-1985. The club served no alcohol and often catered to an under-age crowd. The tagline for the club printed here reads, "wiggly music for wild wombats!!"
