Columbia Bands is an online gallery of flyers promoting the performances, on or around campus or at downtown clubs, of bands that were active in the late '70s through the early '80s. These were the sort of flyers that were taped up in dorms, at libraries, outside frats and local watering holes — like the Marlin — or wheat-pasted to lampposts and at bus stops. You know many of the bands, and you might remember a few of the flyers.
As of several years ago, I've digitally scanned and posted all the flyers in my collection, both here and, in a less orderly fashion, on Facebook. I've also posted numerous flyers sent by readers — thanks again to everyone!
As you'll discover, however, from the lineup in left-hand column, some bands are underrepresented, and others are missing in action altogether. If you have any flyers tucked away somewhere, perhaps in an old file folder or a box in the attic, I'd love to have a look.
