The Moonalice Legend: Poster and Words, Volume 10 Hardback Book

They’ve done it again! Moonalice, the band that has given out a free poster at every concert since its founding in 2007, has published another volume of mind blowing art and the legends behind each poster.

You are holding The Moonalice Legend: Posters and Words, Volume 10, the latest edition in a series that brings joy and laughs to a world gone mad. This volume covers 2016 and 2017, when the United States elected a madman and allowed him to ruin everything he touched. Fortunately, the successful campaign in California to legalize recreational use of you-know-what enabled the Moonalice tribe to deal with the madness of 2017.

In this book, you will meet Sir Topham Frog, the world’s greatest princess maker, and the Seven Sisters of Auburn, who cultivate tie dyed roses. You will learn about sustainability from Organica, Indica, and Sativa Moonalice, and experience the thrill of sea horse races on the Russian River. Eighty years after her disappearance, you will find Amelia Earhart… on a poster. Hang out with the Jerry Pranksters and take a ride in the Flamin’ Doobie, a modified pickup truck that replaced air conditioning with central weed. We will also introduce you to Snidely McTweetface, Cheeto the Clown, Rainy Day Moonalice the 35th, and a four-eyed pygmy dragon on a skateboard.

Moonalice is all about psychedelic music with lots of buzz. The Moonalice Legend is mostly about poster art from the finest artists in and around San Francisco.
