Kristian Hoffman Swinging Madisons Pictures

The Swinging Madisons were a nightclub sensation in New York in the early '80s. They released a five-song EP on Select Records, and although that is out of print, several unreleased songs by the band are available on this website at the Sound page. The band has presented a number of reunions to its grateful public, a few of which are documented in pictures here. For some notes on the history of the band, read this page.

Hand silkscreened by Robert Mache from a design I ripped off, I mean was inspired by - those day-glo gospel choir soul sessions posters they used to tape to telephone poles when flyering was REALLY an art
