The Southern California rock concert ephemera collection consists of flyers, handbills, posters, photographs, and concert tickets promoting Southern California venues and bands from the mid-1970s to 2005 -- with the bulk of the material spanning the 1980s and early 1990s. The majority of the flyers are printed on standard sized sheets of various colors with several incorporating pre-computer cut and paste graphics alongside rubber-stamped elements. The collection also includes 72 half-sheet handbills for a variety of bands and venues outside of the Hollywood and Sunset strip scenes, including flyers for shows at Raincross Square in Riverside, the Crescendo in Anaheim, Goldenwest Ballroom in Norwalk, and Cypress College in northern Orange County. Another flyer in the collection does not actually promote a band, but solicits talent from the community. The flyer reads: "glam guitarist wanted" and further narrows the field to those whose "influences include Crue, Poison, Kiss and Sputnik." This flyer likely dates from the rise of glam or hair metal in the early 1980s.
