The poster
Dave Plunkert, of Baltimore’s SPUR Design, created this fantastic poster for “Do It Again.” Here’s what Dave had to say about the image.
“By far the most underrated British Invasion band if not the most
underrated Rock act of all time, The Kinks engender a fierce loyalty in their fans that the pop acts of today can only dream about. It’s that loyalty that compelled Geoff Edgers to film his quest to reunite the legendary band.
Directed by Robert Patton-Spruill “Do It Again” has been described as a kind of “Sherman’s March” with guitars and features appearances by Sting, Zooey Deschanel, Clive Davis, Robyn Hitchcock, Paul Weller, Warren Zanes and Peter Buck.
The official 25 x 39 inch poster Spur created for the film was screen-
printed 2 colors (black and a musty coloured yellow) at Globe Poster. The venerable Baltimore poster printer, has a long history printing gig posters for musical legends including Led Zeppelin, Janice Joplin, and Stevie Wonder among others.
For my part I wanted to depict the original line-up from their classic period, include a few Easter eggs for their fans, and put the Davies Brothers at the center of everything.
Its a love letter to the the ink (or is it tea?) that dripped from Ray’s pen and the fuzzy guitar sound Dave created with a razor blade and an 8 watt amp, and for a group that left a musical stamp that’s equal parts genius and madness.”
I love the poster, is it for sale?
Killer poster. Unfortunately I don’t think Dave Davies will be healthy enough to
do a kinks tour for a long long time.
I need one. Where is the merchandise shop tab?
Congrats for the movie.
I take issue with your statement “By far the most underrated British Invasion band of all time.” (you forgot to add the end quote by the way) The Kinks may have been underrated when compared to the Beatles/Stones/Who, and I agree with you. that they are underrated in general, but they are not the most underrated British Invasion band of all time. That’s stretching the truth a bit. Last time I checked, they went into the R and R Hall of Fame after the Beatles and Stones and alongside the Who. I appreciate your efforts though. The more people that know about The Kinks…the better!
God save The Kinks!!
To Guy:
“Most underrated” is a matter of opinion, not a truth I can stretch.
this poster is awesome, the t-shirts are awesome and this film looks awesome.
Am I able to purchase either of the first two, and will we be able to watch the movie in Australia any time soon?
like the shirts & poster love to see the film Any thing that may contribute to a KINKS tour is fine as i av been a big fan since 1964.
GREAT POSTER!! Oh My!
