Original screen-printed concert poster for The Mars Volta, documenting their January 9th, 2008 performance at Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont. The design is a striking three-colour screen print — black, grey, and red — featuring an intricate arrangement of isometric/3D cube forms rendered in white line work against a deep black starfield background. Fragmented halftone portrait photography (close-up facial features including eyes and lips) is woven throughout the geometric grid, creating a disorienting, psychedelic effect highly consistent with the band’s progressive rock aesthetic. The band name ‘MARS VOLTA’ appears split across two faces of a cube on the left side, with ‘MARS’ in red and ‘VOLTA’ in white. Venue and date details appear on the right side within the geometric structure. The bottom right corner bears the ‘EP’ (Erin Eberhardt Prints / Electric Penguin) cloud-and-lightning-bolt logo alongside five tally marks, suggesting a numbered edition run. This is a desirable piece of early 21st-century rock poster art combining geometric Op Art influences with psychedelic halftone imagery. A must-have for Mars Volta collectors and fans of progressive and experimental rock memorabilia.
Minor surface scuffs visible on the geometric print area in close-up shots. Some light scratching or crease marks visible in the grey ink areas. Starfield background shows minor speckling consistent with the print style rather than damage. No visible tears, pinholes, tape residue, or major folds confirmed from photos.
