89X Birthday Bash 1994 | Mark Arminski Signed Original
This pristine 1994 original silkscreen concert poster was created by master graphic artist Mark Arminski for Windsor/Detroit’s iconic alternative rock station CIMX (89X) for its monumental Birthday Bash. Held on June 25, 1994, at the Phoenix Plaza Amphitheatre in Pontiac, Michigan, the legendary all-day festival featured a stellar snapshot of the 90s alternative boom, co-headlined by The Afghan Whigs and Beck, hot on the heels of his breakthrough Mellow Gold album release. The monumental lineup was fleshed out by indie rock royalty, including Superchunk, Sponge, Polvo, Scrawl, and The Odds. Arminski’s design perfectly bridges the gap between classic 1960s psychedelia and gritty 1990s counterculture, featuring his signature fluid typography and dynamic, high-contrast color choices.
Hand-signed by Arminski, this scarce piece comes from a notoriously tight mid-90s indie print run, making it a premier, blue-chip acquisition for collectors of modern gig-poster art and alternative rock history alike.
