The poster pictured here advertises a concert by The New Subterraneans. This could be a local band, as listings in the Seattle Times show a band by that name performing at venues around Seattle in 1983-1984. The local band could have performed on Saturday, August 3, 1985. Alternatively, the band could have been the British group, The New Subterraneans, playing on August 3, 1991. This show was held at Seattle's infamous dive bar, the Comet Tavern at 922 E. Pike Street.
