INTRODUCTION: In many respects, Texas was a scary place to live during the late 1950s and early 1960s.  Repression of minorities was officially sanctioned, police brutality was commonplace, and free thinkers and non-conformists were not welcome.  At the same time, however, Texas continued to maintain elements of its long progressive tradition.  After all, this was a state where voters had elected an anti-Ku Klux Klan and pro-alcohol candidate as Governor in the 1920s.  When the legislature responded by impeaching and removing him, the voters retaliated by electing his wife, the first female Governor in the United States.  Forty years later, Texans were still electing progressive mavericks.  For example, a liberal Democrat, the late Ralph Yarborough, was sent to the US Senate in the early 1960s.
        Indicative of the progressive elements in Texas society, the Lone Star State produced some of the greatest legends in rock and roll music--ranging from Buddy Holly to Janis Joplin.  It also produced some incredible nightclubs during the psychedelic era.  The most important of these was the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin, Texas.
        Throughout the early to mid-1960s, Austin's counter-culture had searched for a club that would showcase its music.  For a time, the 11^th Door and the Chequered Flag had sufficed as these were "folkie" clubs that catered to University of Texas students and others interested in this progressive music form.  However, those seeking more "authentic" hillbilly music journeyed to North Austin and hung out at Threadgill's.  At that establishment they could mingle with Central Texas' "cedar choppers" (rednecks), drink beer and listen to yodeling and fiddling.  According to most accounts, Janis Joplin spent many evenings at Threadgill's.  No one would dare to enter The Skyline, a real redneck country and western roadhouse that was located on far North Lamar (sometimes called the Dallas Highway).
        In 1965, Austin's folk music scene began to yield to the psychedelic music era.  New bands--particularly the 13^th Floor Elevators and the Conqueroo--began to draw attention.  But the bands had no place to perform on a regular basis.  The New Orleans Club, a sleepy watering hole that catered to middle aged white folks with a taste for Dixieland Jazz, took a chance and began to showcase the 13^th Floor Elevators to huge crowds.  Legal hassles, however, led the New Orleans Club to reverse course and abandon rock and roll.  At that point, the Jade Room stepped in.  But this club also proved to be a poor substitute.  By late 1966, it would agree to hire psychedelic bands only during mid-week and reverted to a "big band" format for the weekends.  The club also attracted a large contingent of the university's Greek community who could not understand or appreciate the alternative music.  The fraternity brothers preferred endless renditions of "Louie, Louie" and "Gloria" and quarreled with the hippies.
        Arguably, Austin's first real effort to establish a psychedelic club was The Fred. It included a light show and psychedelic bands.  But this establishment was very short-lived.  Like other venues of the era, it was raided by the Texas Liquor Control Board (LCB) and lost its liquor license after a minor was found to be drinking beer.  The Fred was then replaced by Club Saracen, a venue that combined elements of the psychedelic scene and the fraternity scene.  As might be expected, the venture failed.  Another interesting experiment entailed moving the psychedelic music scene to the IL Club or The Afro in Austin's African-American community.  But the efforts suffered a similar fate and most clubs located in the African-American community--including the famous Charlies Playhouse--refused to book the hippie bands.
        The continued need for a psychedelic club that would showcase psychedelic music and other "non-conventional" music forms (including the blues) on a regular and predictable basis led to the creation of a loose group of hippies who originally called themselves "The Electric Grandmother."  Rather than print posters in the traditional "boxing style" format (click here to view rock posters that resembled old posters used to promote fights), the Electric Grandmother used psychedelic art to promote their shows. After organizing three concerts by the 13^th Floor Elevators (including one at the Houston Music Theatre in Houston, Texas), the group changed its name to "The Vulcan Gas Company" and promoted three more shows.  These included an April 22, 1967 Conqueroo concert at the Doris Miller Auditorium (an event that generated what is technically the first Vulcan Gas Company poster), a May 6, 1967 show at the Doris Miller Auditorium and a September 24, 1967 "Love-In" at Austin's Zilker Park.  The Vulcan Gas Company then rented a building located at 316 Congress Avenue (at the time a run-down part of downtown Austin) and opened a club under its name.
        Not surprisingly, the local "establishment" did not approve of the Vulcan Gas Company.  The operators didn't even bother to apply for a liquor license, knowing that the Vulcan would be raided (and closed) by the TCB.  Consequently, the club depended entirely upon revenues generated by "the gate" and by various benefit concerts.  Sometime in 1969 it also sought to generate some money by requiring a membership card for patrons (it cost one dollar).  The cards included a detachable stub so members could fill them out and be placed on a mailing list to receive handbills announcing events in the mail (the Vulcan had started using mailers in 1968).
        As described, local authorities were not ready for a psychedelic nightclub in the midst of downtown Austin. Since the Vulcan could not be raided for "liquor violations," it was busted for "electrical violations" by the city.  It seems that the famous Light Show constituted a major electrical danger to people's lives.  The city also attempted to pressure the owner of the building to terminate the lease and evict the hippies.  Moreover, in another effort to kill the Vulcan, the local newspaper at first refused to run advertisements promoting its shows (this ban was lifted after a year or so). In order to overcome this obvious handicap, the club owners turned to posters--ery BIG posters.  Unlike the posters printed in San Francisco, many Vulcan Gas Company posters measured a whooping 23x28 inches.  With their colorful psychedelic designs, they caught the attention of the city's burgeoning counter culture and helped fill the club.  Handbills were also actively distributed.  But students caught distributing handbills and/or posters in local high schools were often expelled.
        Over the years, the large colorful posters tended to give way to handbills. The posters--although printed in low print runs--were quite expensive for the club to print.  Consequently, some art generated by the Vulcan Gas Company is available only in handbills. Moreover, in two instances, the Vulcan was so strapped for cash that posters were printed on newsprint.  At other times, posters were silk-screened in very small numbers.  And there are a few relatively small Vulcan Gas Company poster (for example, see "Gas Pump" on August 22, 1969 below).
        The Vulcan Gas Company operated from 1967 until mid-1970.  It was the state's first real psychedelic nightclub and generated some of the best psychedelic poster art printed during the 1960s.  Artists who created posters for the club included Gilbert Shelton (who later penned the Fabulous Fury Freak Brothers comix), Jim Franklin, John Shelton, Jack Jackson and Jim Harter, among others.  Altogether, there were only 46 posters printed (to date, we know of 45). Handbills were much more common.  Some posters and handbills enjoyed a relatively large print-run, while others are extraordinarily rare.
        The Vulcan Gas Company's posters and handbills promoted performances by a wide variety of bands and musicians.  The club's management displayed a keen appreciation for both psychedelic music and the blues.  In the field of rock and roll, most of the bands were local.  One will find that Shiva's Headband and the Conqueroo are very well represented on the Vulcan's posters.  But posters and/or handbills also promote shows by larger acts, including the 13^th Floor Elevators, Moby Grape and the Velvet Underground.  With respect to the blues, local Texans like Freddie King and Mance Lipcomb performed regularly at the Vulcan.  However, Muddy Waters, Big Mama Thorton, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Jimi Reed and others also journeyed to Austin for shows.  Posters and/or handbills were always printed to promote these important events.
         Collectors always want to ask the question, "so which posters and handbills are the rare ones?"  The answer to that question is simply, "yes."  All of the Vulcan Gas Company posters and handbills are rare.  They were never mass-produced like their counter-parts on the West Coast.  Collectors should also note that, unlike San Francisco's Avalon Ballroom or Fillmore Auditorium, there are no authorized second, third or upteenth printings of Vulcan posters to confuse and confound them.  Simply stated, if a poster is a "second printing," it's a fake.  Thus far, only a small number of crude counterfeit Vulcan handbills have surfaced.  It seems these were printed in the late 1980s or early 1990s and may be easily identified as fakes.
        For several years, the Vulcan Gas Company reigned supreme as Texas' premiere psychedelic nightclub. For a brief period, it looked as if the Pleasure Dome, another psychedelic club in downtown Austin, might provide the Vulcan with some real competition.  However, this nightspot was short-lived and closed after the owner purportedly experienced legal problems.  Other psychedelic clubs--most notably Houston's Love Street Light Circus and Feelgood Machine--also tried to succeed as psychedelic clubs in Texas (be sure to click on the link to Love Street to view posters/handbills from that venue!).  In fact, Love Street opened before the Vulcan Gas Company opened (still, the Vulcan was producing shows before Love Street). The Catacombs, another Houston club that opened in 1966, also eventually turned into a psychedelic club of sorts.  In any event, none of these 1960s-era clubs ever generated posters or handbills to rival those produced for the Vulcan Gas Company.  The Vulcan Gas Company stood alone as the premiere psychedelic club of Texas during the 1960s.  Indeed, it was one of the most important psychedelic nightclubs of the entire psychedelic era.
        I arrived in Austin in 1971, roughly one year after the Vulcan Gas Company closed.  At the time, the Armadillo World Headquarters was in full swing (it  operated until 1980) and Armadillo posters were all over town.  The large Vulcans had disappeared into closets, trunks or trash bins. In the early 80s, I was fortunate enough to obtain a large collection of Vulcan Gas Company handbills at a garage sale.  Ever since that time, I've been hooked.  If you would like to make any corrections or additions to the list below, or if you would like to part with some posters (I buy collections), please feel free to send me an email and I will response as soon as possible.

Please note that I have contributed a chapter on the Vulcan Gas Company posters to the definitive study of psychedelic concert posters, namely, Eric King's book, A Collector's Guide to Psychedelic Rock Concert Posters, Postcards and Handbills 1965-1973, (ninth edition and tenth edition). This book is the definitive guide to rock concert posters! Be sure to buy it soon!

I wish to thank my wife, Pat Cheng-May Hickey, for her support, encouragement and assistance.  Also, I would like to thank Terry Raines.   I "borrowed" many of the titles of posters from his publication on the music graphics of Texas and his listing of Vulcan posters is the foundation upon which all subsequent lists are based.  And I would like to thank all the other people who have provided me with Vulcan posters and handbills.  Without their support, I would never have been able to complete the list below.

Thanks and keep those posters and handbills coming! Please remember that I will pay CA$H for collections!!! Please email me at dennishickey@missouristate.edu
