Time For An Encore
We always like to support comics crowdfunding here on Tripwire and Geezer by Philip Bond and William Potter are back with another Geezer campaign featuring Britpop’s forgotten men so here’s a few details…
Oi Oi!
2023, everyone’s talking about a Britpop revival. Blur and Pulp planning big UK shows, a new documentary series on British telly, rumors that the Gallagher brothers might patch things up … but we know where it all started. Geezer #1, innit!
With blinding foresight, William Potter and Philip Bond are rustling up a second helping of hapless adventures for Martin Bland and his band. In the feisty follow-up to 2022’s critically acclaimed debut, the UK’s biggest Britpop also-rans, Geezer, get lost in the USA where they’re appreciated even less.
On a Stateside tour to forget, ‘London’ Geezer grin and bare all in support of their arch-rivals Clobber. College towns and trousers down, singer Martin Bland flies the flag for beer and fags, losing his marbles and dignity on the highway. With Geezer’s ladette drummer Jess flirting with the opposition, Martin is green with envy and dodgy pills.
Plus! Revisit Geezer’s early struggles, ligging at Syndrome, audience-baiting at the Bull and Gate, all-star cameos, tequila slammers and unexpected trysts.
What they said about Geezer #1:
Geezer is a 36-page black-and-white comic with colour cover in a stylish 7” single format, released on the Shelly and Philip Bond Off Register Press label. The book includes a complete comic-book adventure backed with band interviews, promo, lyrics and reviews. There are several enticing reward tiers too, including the full beery Geezer road-crew kit and very limited chances for you to nab original artwork by Philip Bond.
Writer WILLIAM POTTER was and is also the bass player for CUD, a Top 40 UK indie-pop band that collided with the Britpop scene in the early 90s. Following his collaboration with Philip Bond on the semi-autographical CUD: Rich and Strange strip for Black Crown Quarterly, he has used his mixed experiences in the music biz as inspiration for this tale of a cheeky chart chancer dipping into real events from the Britpop epoch.
Artist PHILIP BOND is a long-suffering comic artist with credits including Kill Your Boyfriend, Eve Stranger, and of course CUD: Rich and Strange with the aforementioned Potter. While his black-and-white ink drawings have proved popular across his Instagram feed and two Kickstarter collections, Geezer marks Philip’s triumphant return to sequential comics.
The 30-day Kickstarter campaign goes live at 4pm UK time, 9am PST, Thursday 15 March here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/offregisterpress/geezer-2
