Throwback surprise bonus - Xero 1998 flyers

[[AndOne]]

Last night we got some unexpected throwback items courtesy of Anna Shinoda - Xero flyers from 1998! Make sure you also read her blogpost "College, Sunset Strip, and Meeting Mike"

One of the flyers even uses the band name "Xero 818" that was previously mentioned in a couple of interviews.

3 new shows to add to our guide:

 

27.02.1998 West Hollywood, CA, Whisky a Go Go

19.03.1998 West Hollywood, CA, Billboard Live -> now the Key Club

20.06.1998 West Hollywood, CA, The Roxy Theatre

10.10.1998 Hollywood, CA, Hollywood Athletic Club - Zomba Singing Party

10.12.1998 West Hollywood, CA, Whisky a Go Go

 

EDIT: Anna has submitted three more awesome pieces of history here and here!

...Do people seriously not recognize something THAT iconic anymore?

No, that's not Xero. No, Brad is not in the photo. Yes, Mike is photoshopped (or whatever the 1998 equivalent of Photoshop was) into the top right corner.

Exactly

[Skipees]

Exactly

the confusing starts in your second post, when you answered to the hapless member "You can see brad", people thougt you was really meant to it. next time just add a smiley, they are here to replace our voice tones.

 

let's leave this subject for now.

Btw, someone could ask if she remember some songs played on one or two shows of those dates

[Rasputin 93]

or if she even got some kind of setlists... ^^

Yes, instead of being thanful that she provided more information about Xero's history in one blog post than we knew about for the last 13 years, let's pester her for more information. Great idea!
