Post acid or post fun?

I found this gig poster as I was looking through Facebook, and I don't get it.
I've listened to Wavves for years and this poster doesn't suit the style of their music at all. They're primarily a bunch of skaters that take acid and make good music, and this doesn't really reflect that. What happened to the slime green and weird cats and diy-esque photo montages?
It all just looks a bit dull for a band who dressed up as an alien and taught him how to skate for their video "post acid"
I think this reinforces that colour and context of album covers and posters must reflect the music, so it makes sense and engages their audience, I need to make sure I consider this when resolving my one a week album brief for OUIL603.
