CIRCUS Promotion on the Sunset Strip

Описание: Close look at a "day in the life" of one of the most popular bands to walk the Sunset strip. The band would get mobbed at times by fans. Unable to walk alone they often walked with security lurking in the shadows. It was quite the phenomenon at the time. No local band had garnered that much attention by the public. They often stopped traffic.
The band handed out balloons so as to avoid further action by the city who had issued a $17,500 fine to the band for being in association with an unknown party who had posted on every lamp post in the city of West Hollywood with 6 flyers spelling out the bands name. No matter what freeway exit you took into Hollywood you couldn't miss it, and then going the other way when leaving Hollywood too. With each flyer the band handed out they ran the risk of being arrested. Seeing the band flyer is rare! They had people scouring the streets for flyers on the ground. The fans had no idea that the only way the band could promote was without flyers. It worked, subsequently they broke the attendance record at the Roxy Theatre and broke Van Halen's record at Gazzarri's. Bill Gazzarri awarded the band his last and final "star on the wall of fame" of the venue before passing away in 1991.
