Disclaimer: I am not a metalhead. I know nothing of Party Cannon’s works. Only that someone uttered, “Fucking Party Cannon” upon seeing this flyer.
Think of how much they wasted on color posters just for fucking Party Cannon.
Some accountant: “not so fast”
Party Cannon rocks! I took my daughter to a show here recently. It’s a fun show with lots of inflatable pool toys… And pushups. (Honestly, you don’t need to be a metal head to enjoy the show and it’s very unique.)
We got to see them in a tiny venue too so it was super personal. The lead singer personally sold my kid a tee shirt. ;)
What’s the idea behind making your band name illegible?
Metal fans have actually created their own language
This, but unironically. When seeing some illegible logo, even if you cannot read the text and/or don’t know the band, you can probably tell the genre of metal their playing just by the design.
This is a real poster?!
Not even very surprising. The dark and/or broody scenes tend to be a lot less serious than they look. To give an example I saw: At last year’s Wave Gotik Treffen (a huge goth event) there were plenty of posters for broody bands – and in between them there was one for the German Hevisaurus spinoff advertising their new song about bubblegum.
And then someone went around and put googly eyes on all the posters. That’s also pretty on-brand for the scene.
Party Cannon looks like a spin-off of the defunct toys-r-us
Come to Canada, we still have Toys’r’us
What the fuck is toys 'tism?
I wish their music was like plonky circus music, but with the evil devil screaming metal lyrics laid on top and the band itself came out dressed like bright, colorful clowns.
Also: Does one of those say “Alter Beast?” Like the video game?
For the first bit, you’d want Clownc0re.
Second bit, yes, top right of the right-most side.
