Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Help me figure out this super interesting mystery flier! No idea what year this is from (although in guessing 1990s?), I'm not familiar with these bands or this venue. This might be the first old flier I've seen from Sanford. What can you tell me about this one? From the collection of Skummy Bob. 010
Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 19/08/20262000 flier from a show at the Presumpscott Grange in Portland, Maine. I'm familiar with all of these guys except One For Today, can anyone tell me more about that band? From the collection of Skummy Bob Farrington. 110
Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 17/08/20262005 flier for a show at The Kave with Terror (CA) , Donnybrook (CA) and Outbreak (ME). Super stoked to have just downloaded a pile of Kave fliers from the collection of Jessica Harvey, scanned by Ricky Leighton 000

Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I went to see Billy Bragg a couple months ago. As usual it was a great show, I definitely recommend seeing him live if you are fan. In the meantime, here is a live recording from that show. archive.org/details/bill... 000

Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Jeffrey Lewis at Space Gallery July 26 2025 I’ve seen him play a bunch of times, it’s always great show.

Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 20/12/20251978 flier for Boston Punk/garage rockers DMZ playing at Portland School of Art (now Maine College of Art & Design). This is one of the oldest fliers from Maine that I have seen, so it makes a lot of sense that it came from the collection of Richard Julio. 150

Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 18/04/20252005 flyer for a folk-punk show at a vacant office space on middle st in Portland. I believe Spoonboy was the instigating artist for this one and the other acts were local/regional folks who @samn thought would be a good match. I remember this show well, although I lost the photos I took. 110

Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 24/03/2025A real mystery flier from the collection of Skummy Bob Farrington. I don't know these bands, I don't know The Funhouse, no idea what year this is from, or even the date on that year. Might not even be a Maine flier (about 10% of his collection was out of Maine, mostly NH). 130
Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 13/03/20251999 Flier for a show at The Fine Arts, during the period where they had all ages punk shows, which I’m told, probably didn’t overlap with them showing pornos.

Maine Punk History @mainepunk.bsky.social · 11/03/20252001 flier for a show at the Warren Memorial Library in Westbrook.

Please tell me more about Halo Effect! 030
