HELLO!
Welcome to www.tallyho.co.nz, officially launched
May 2009 (unofficially October 2008) continues below....
Updates : Sorry
all for the huge delay, I was diagnosed with chronic
heart failure over xmas (xmas in hospital isn't that
fun, really!) Still alive and on the mend, but it
meant I was out of action for a while. Actually feel
a lot better now than I had for most of last year!
Added about 60 new items...
Yay!
Roger has taken (re)control of Flying Nun, and thankfully
it's just him at the wheel rather than with someome
else involved, pissing in his pot, so to speak.
Righto! off to see The 3D's late feb at a small bar
in Wellington, can't wait!
See ya next month... Simon

Welcome continues...
Before the age of internet, the printed medium occupied
an even more exulted place when communicating a bands
brand visually.
The gig poster, the magazine advert, the hand flier
were the primary medium by which you found out about
bands, gigs and records (or tapes) oh and the subsequent
word of mouth, there were no chat rooms, no spam,
texting or facebook to muddy the waters.
As a fan of Punk Goth Ska New Wave/No Wave and the
Flying Nun phenomenon (I managed to avoid being a
bloody hippy) in the 1980's and 1990', I always (geekily)
collected posters, fliers and adverts out of magazines
like Rip It Up (early era) BiFiM, Monitor, Garage,
RAD, etc by New Zealand bands etc and put them inside
the record sleeves.
Now in my 40's with an appropriately cynical outlook
on modern life and the current music scene I decided
to do something with my spare time (surprisingly going
to gigs is less of a priority once you have children)
and create a website to share these pieces of (almost)
lost art for all to see, also there is an element
of ego gratification as well.
So
here is an ever increasing collection of my own (as
I scan and add them, I still have several hundred
items to work through!) and other posters etc that
I have sourced, been sent or found on the internet,
consider it a work in progress, forever incomplete
and never claiming to be the authority.
If
you'd like to send me one to place, excellent and I'll
of course credit you. If you use one from here, please
feel free too*, but put me in your links page or reference
this site, I like visitors.
Thanks
to Andrew Boak, Bob Sutton, William Daymond, Peter Denniston,
Simon Yates, Buster Stiggs, Simon Grigg, Rob Mayes,
Murray Cammick, Mark Hector, Mark Wallbank, Terence
Hogan, Will Rodgers, Mark Bailey and
anybody I've missed for sending me posters and or helping/pointing
me in the right direction.
Please
let me know what you think, and yes some scans are imperfect,
well was that what it was all about.
Oh
yeah I update/add to the site once a month usually about
50-60 new items.
My favourite all time New Zealand bands live...Kiwi
Animal, The Gordons, Exploding Budgies, 7 Dials, SPUD,

can ask me to remove them, I might, but it'll have to

Warning:*
Copying of these items for personal use is way cool.
However if you copy them for commercial use or to promote
a commercial site or activity then that is way uncool
and I will complain and shout a lot and perhaps undertake
legal action if bothered enough to do so. This doesn't
apply to the bands and/or band members or artwork designers.
