Pioneers of Modern Typography

Posted on December 8th, 2009 by steve

‘PMT was one of few if not the only band in Milwaukee to combine experimental music, costumes, cutting edge graphic design and performance.’ -Milwaukee Rock Posters

The Pioneers of Modern Typography (PMT) was a mid-1980s experimental art/performance rock band that incorporated graphic design history and theory into their work. The posters (pictured) were designed by John Luttropp and Frank Ullenberg. Scott Schanke also made up the group.

More posters here. Additional details about the band are posted at John Luttropp’s website here – with the promise of audio/visual to come.
