Description
Poster for The Dark performing at The Decade in a benefit for Free Clinic. The poster reads,
"You must come and see how in more recent periods of musical history, insta-
mental music, commonly distinguished as absolute
music because it has freed
itself from all external
authorities may be regarded
as the most refined and
genuine phase of tone express-
ion. It manifests a strange
power over black and white
cats, making them run
and look at fish. We have
noticed this while practicing
and fully intend to perform
this experiment at the Decade
on November sixth. Instead of using cats we will use
a species of Homo Sluggalus who have, by nature,
the desire to do anything they are told. Therefore it is
of great importance to be there and take part in this, so
you will not be left out or feel silly or dumb or
