Concert poster collector and Nirvana specialist Scott Mussell is searching for flyers, posters and other material advertising the grunge bands May 4, 1990 concert in Ybor City, Florida. The legendary Tampa area venue Masquerade hosted Kurt Cobain, Chris Novoselic and then drummer Chad Channing during Nirvana’s 1990 club tour. “I’ve seen a few flyers from this venue from around 1989 and 1990 but I’ve never seen one for the Nirvana show” says Mussell adding “It seems likely something was made or perhaps the venue utilized one of the Jeff Ross ‘tour blank’ posters in the area.” Masquerade featured a litany of great bands over the years including Janes Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins and even Lady Gaga. “Clubs and theaters like Masquerade were so critical to up and coming artists- the art produced by these venues and the local communities around them is music history I feel is important to preserve. If you have a single flyer or an entire hoard I’d love to hear from you!” says Mussell.
