Description

Event poster for punk groups The Five and The Little Wretches performing at The Electric Banana, 3887 Bigelow Boulevard, Pittsburgh PA. The poster reads like a tabloid cover with the headline, "Teenager Poses as Couple's Missing Son - And Fools Them for 3 Years." In the left background is a monster face. The front left foreground displays another tabloid-style snipping, reading, "Fake Son. Eric Robert was welcomed into the missing boy's family, who had no doubt he was their son." A similar snipping appears in the bottom left foreground with a picture of Freddy Toulouse, reading, "Real Son. Freddy Toulouse had been missing two years when imposter stepped into his shoes."



The show took place on Saturday April 28.
