Steve Cochrane has been collecting music posters since the late 1970s By the mid eighties he was importing posters from Europe and selling them mail order through Rip It Up magazine, which evolved into both wholesale and retail In 1985, Steve joined post punk luminaries Skank Attack and began pasting posters on Wellingtons streets. Eventually realising you could get paid for it, casual work for bars and clubs kept the gas tank full and led to his first poster distribution company The Stick Up! After a much needed hiatus, Steve returned to the music industry a few years ago, via record retail Steve now runs Wellington poster company Pasted!, and remains an active musician and promoter After decades of sporadic trading, Steve still has an extensive poster collection acquired from a vast array of sources. There's Flying Nun gems like Skeptics, The Chills, The Bats and Bailter Space, there's Shihad, Split Enz, and Space Waltz, along with NZ tour posters of REM, Elvis Costello, U2, Mick Jagger, Billy Bragg and many more With a very small house and a huge collection, its time to start letting this stuff go for others to enjoy
