Nine Inch Nails Austin City Limits Rob Jones Poster World Premiere Exclusive

Since 1989 when Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails burst onto the music scene with their sonic assault of industrial music each new album has set the bar higher each time. For 24 years their concerts have been intense impassioned nights of seeing Trent bare his soul to those willing to join the musical journey with him.  His love of music has not waned after all these years. He seemingly got bored recently and wanted to create more music as NIN. From that came the album Hesitation Marks released earlier this year with little to no fan fare or a huge PR blitz. From that came the recent tour titled Tension. If you see just one concert this year make sure you see NIN if they come near you. Trent, I feel is one of few that still makes music because he loves doing it and for no other reason.

Last night in Austin Texas Nine Inch Nails were there to tape a show for Austin City Limits that will be shown next year. Fronting an eight-piece band that included longtime NIN guitarist Robin Finck, backing vocalists Lisa Fischer and Sharlotte Gibson and British bass legend Pino Palladino, Trent Reznor created an atmosphere of tension and release, with songs that offered both discomfort and catharsis. NIN ended the show with its classic anthem “Hurt” – the ultimate in cathartic performance art.

For the special show Rob Jones created the poster and of course Rob nailed it. Also in attendance were Todd Slater and Mike Mitchell who hung out with long time NIN graphic designer, director, and photographer Rob Sheridan. 

Rob will have the poster on sale soon so stay tuned until then enjoy the image above.
