Band T-shirts Part XIII -- Ya Wearin' One?

So, are you wearing a band t-shirt today? Who is it for? When/how'd you get it? Will you lovingly wear it until your shoulder starts poking thru the stitching, or was it the only clean tshirt in the pile today and you couldn't give a toss? Do your co-workers/friends/bandmates have any idea who it is?

for me: Slim Cessna's Auto Club t-shirt, purchased when I booked them to play in ann arbor 2.5 years ago. The logo for the band is a snake encircles with a cross, so Lord only knows what my coworkers think.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 19 June 2003 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh... I'm wearing my Witches t-shirt today.

I'm wearing a Fall/Infotainment Scan t-shirt. Brix threw them into the audience (presumably out of guilt) at the end of a really short show. Of course no one knows who the Fall is around here, but everyone asks - as if they'll start listening for them on top 40 radio now that they've heard the name.

I'm wearing my Olneyville Sound System shirt. I got it this spring at the Armageddon Shop in Providence.

Mr. Bungle, from the legendary 1992 Anaheim show. It was an experience.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

dead kennedys. the spiky DK letters with a red circle around it.

― Mr Monket (apn99), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I"m wearing my Tricky Woo Les Sables Magiques cuz I was reaching for my Sadies Stories Often Told shirt, but instead pulled this crappy shirt with a crest on the breast that says "Ottawa" and that's just lame.
Thanks a lot dad.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:09 (twenty-two years ago)

we'll see how many replies this post gets, but perhaps i should have just entitled it, "which band tshirt are you wearing today?"

with the subquestion of "when did you last wash it? when did you last actually wash it with soap?"

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

..and "Are you wearing it because you had nothing else clean to wear?|Are you wearing it because it was on top of the pile?"

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm wearing a Sonic Youth t-shirt today. It's blue. It has a washing machine on it that says "Sonic Youth." The white part is all cracked up now and it looks like I've worn it a few times.

I bought it at Vintage Vinyl on 11th Avenue, beside Tokyo 7. For the first few times I wore it, until I washed it, it smelled really strongly of incense. Because it smells like incense in there!

― d k (d k), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

d k, you live in Regina???
we may have had this conversation before.

I washed my Tricky Woo shirt (and most of my other ones) last night. At the Cathedral Laundromat, beside Safeway.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 June 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

(We've never had it before! I lived in Regina from January to this spring, while I was going to school. I'm moving back in the fall. And I live in Moose Jaw right now.)

― d k (d k), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I thought I remembered the Moose Jaw bit.

What were you studying? What do you do in Moose Jaw? I was there last Sunday for no reason at all.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm wearing an autechre t-shirt today. it is the best shade of grey ever. (who knew an autechre t-shirt would be grey) i bought it at their last concert and yes, i will probably wear it until it falls apart. i should've bought 2!

― disco stu (disco stu), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I had ice cream and walked up and down Main St. I like Main St. Though I'd probably hate it if I lived there.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

It has the historic downtown. It's nice down there. And the rest is pretty nice, too. But after living in Regina for a few months and coming back, I did miss the big city excitement. It was the biggest city I'd ever lived in or spent any time in, so, a few months of living there alone might have been special in a way that wouldn't last a long time.

I'll be starting my second year, third semester, at the U of R. And in Moose Jaw I'm just a kid so I live with my mom and dad and work at a part-time job and drive around in my car.

― d k (d k), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

At work now....in a black Banana Republic button-down, but earlier in the day (I don't go into work until 4pm on Thursdays) I was sporting a black shirt with......WAIT FOR IT!.....Killing Joke on it (The portrait of the band from the back of the 12" of "Let's All Go (To the Fire Dances)"....basically, this image....

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:24 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm wearing a marine blue t-shirt of Spanish band Astrud. the guy from the label gave it to me when their first album came out. i like it a lot, i wear it very often.
my co-workers know about the band, but i when i meet other people (this morning at the bank, in the afternoon meeting my mom) they look at me after reading the title of the album: 'mi fracaso personal' ('my personal failure').

― joan vich (joan vich), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I wore a ten year old, faded-to-illegible Mayhem shirt this morning while running in the park - I'm obviously KVLT AS FUCK.

― Siegbran (eofor), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

while it was loading i thought for a moment this was a picture of you with your t-shirt.

― joan vich (joan vich), Thursday, 19 June 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

No, my eyes have pupils.

― Siegbran (eofor), Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:48 (twenty-two years ago)

im wearing an ASCAP shirt!

― chaki (chaki), Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Well...funny you ask. I WAS wearing a "Cheap Trick sucks" shirt(has "cheap trick" inside a circle with a slash through the circle)over my guarding suit cuz it was a lil cold out this morning, but my boss made me change it because some guy said he was going to "slit my !*@#@#% throat" if I didn't take if off. Those Cheap Trick fans are nasty little guys.

― Allison, Friday, 20 June 2003 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Disrespecting Cheap Trick yet championing the Dave Matthews Band? You're one confused girl.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 20 June 2003 00:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Why do you satirize me so, Alex? I only defended them because they were criticizing the poor guys so unremorsefully. I explained this already. Ya know...the only reason I don't totally dislike you is because you like Killing Joke. Just give me a little, teeny, tiny break, alright buddy?

― Allison, Friday, 20 June 2003 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi. I'm wearin' a red HOT SNAKES t-shirt today. Thanks.

― Famous Athlete, Friday, 20 June 2003 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I wasn't "satirizing" you, I was making an observation. What do you have against Cheap Trick?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 20 June 2003 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i've got a grotty 555 Recordings t-shirt on at the moment and because i'm getting a haircut and feeling natty i'll probably wear my Slumber Party t-shirt later.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Friday, 20 June 2003 02:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I was prob wearing a NIN 94 tour t-shirt at some point in the last 24 hours. Only as pajamas, the purple writing on the back matches my pj pants from the Gap. (hahaha.)
I would in fact wear it in public but it's way too big for me. Why is it so hard to find decent band t-shirts (for bands who don't tour anymore I mean) in child size L or XL? I could only manage to track some down in England..

― daria g (daria g), Friday, 20 June 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

By the way.. where CAN I find a KMFDM or Ministry shirt that is not, like, size L or XL? I went looking on eBay and at least I got a laugh:
"Sorry, don't have a picture of the shirt because my computer is having problems with file formats and can't read images...I don't know, it pisses me off too. But, if you ever seen an KMFDM shirt it's just like and of the other one's like "Godlike" or "Xtort", just with the chcik putting a spear throut a warthogs head."
excellent.

― daria g (daria g), Friday, 20 June 2003 03:38 (twenty-two years ago)

BAHAHAha. Nice that he was so articulate over the lack of a pic.

I'm about to pass out for the evening, resplendid in my Too $hort blue shirt given away by our Hip Hop Director when he was in a good mood. I probably won't be wearing it into work on friday, as the front reads:

"Chase the Cat"

and the back: "Rappin', Pimpin', and the Purrrrsuit of Pu**y..."

oh, that nutty Too $hort! What will he think up next?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 20 June 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, I don't have anything against the band...just Rick. I just saw them at hard rock not too long ago, actually. I'm sure you don't want to hear the long, drawn out story, so I'll spare you and just leave it at that.

― Allison, Friday, 20 June 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I am not wearing a band t-shirt at all (meh) but I would just like to say that I'm glad that Allison stuck around. :-)

I wish I'd had a Cheap Trick Sucks on the Bangs tour. Heh heh.

― kate (kate), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm wearing a kraftwerk t-shirt. i think it's the only band t-shirt i wear in public these days.

― pete b. (pete b.), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

well, it's a new day and a whole new set of shirts.

Let's hear it, people. Chop chop.

Unfortunately, i'm not wearing one right now, but will probably have on my Amazing (Royal) Crowns shirt later tonight when headin' out to the show.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I was going to say I don't have any band t-shirts any more, but I do have a couple. I have Spacemen spinoff shirts cause Chris B is nice enough to keep giving them to me, and I have Durandy Warhols t-shirts for the same reason, except nice has nothing to do with it.

― kate (kate), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I am wearing a Faust t-shirt, black with the big-ass X-ray of the hand in dark grey. I will probably change into my Rocket from the Tombs shirt tho.

― hstencil, Friday, 20 June 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

neat. Chris B makes his own shirts, or just acquires them somehow?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Wearing my 12 Apostles shirt. It's red. Very very red.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

im wearing a black pussy galore 'from the hate fuck capital of the world' bootleg tee

― ss, Friday, 20 June 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris B is hooked up to the super-secret Spacemainline. I can say no more! Please say no more. (Fnord)

― kate (kate), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not wearing a shirt.
But if you stare at my chest hair long enough and allow yr eyes to cross, a 3D image of Meatloaf jumps out at you.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I've only got one band shirt that fits me and it's the only one I've bought in the last ten years.

Got it a few weeks ago at a Katastrophy Wife gig cause they were great, it only cost a fiver and it's a brilliant T shirt.

It's blavk with a white print on it that looks like the crest of some old sports team. It says 'Katastrophy Wife' around the top, "Women's Football" around the bottom and a picture of an owl in the middle.

Huh? What's it got to do with anything? Brilliant!

― mei (mei), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck, I want a Spaceman 3 shirt.

(fuck, shouldn't have said anything!)

― hstencil, Friday, 20 June 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I can get you one in Camden Market, hstencil! Email me and tell me yer size and yer address, and next paycheck I will get you one.

(This offer is only open to hstencil, since he was my prom date and all)

― kate (kate), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Awesome! I'm an XL (not sure if there's a difference between US and UK t-shirt size thingies). I will email you later today with size and address. You're the best, kate! *smooch*

(refrains from further smooching lest HSA and hstencil's new rocker ladyfriend get jealous.)

― hstencil, Friday, 20 June 2003 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Rocker ladyfriend! Oooh, exciting! exciting! TEll me all in email, am delighted with happiness for you! (and won't tell HSA about the smooch)

― kate (kate), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm wearing a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion t-shirt. I got it free at their New Year's Eve 1997 show (first 100 people in the door, etc). But I only wear it underneath button-up shirts now, since a) I was worried the phrase "Controversial Negro" might be misinterpreted by the general public / my employers, and b) I don't really like the band (or the shirt, really) much anymore. So yeah, I basically use it as an undershirt.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, my updated shopping list for the week:

1. rocker ladyfriend
2. dirty dronerock girl
3. spacemen 3 t-shirt
4. "a hole in my face where all the honey goes"

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Mmmmm, honey. Dronerock and honey, two great tastes that taste great together!

c.f. JAMC, S3, The Archies etc. etc.

― kate (kate), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

dude man you can't buy a rocker ladyfriend, but you do have to earn her.

― hstencil, Friday, 20 June 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

oh? if i buy me a Rickenbacker 360, some vintage thread, and a suitable rough-sounding backing band, that'd get me one, wouldn't it?

only cost me, what, $900 for the guitar & gear...

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

What you'd get yerself, Kingfish, is not a Rocker Ladyfriend, but a GROUPIE. Big difference!

― kate (kate), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

The Tyde. Right now ... but been getting more t-shirts as of late, 'Prog is a Four Later Word', Johnny Cash giving the finger and underneath, the words, 'White Trash' and a Warlocks t-shirt.

― doom-e, Friday, 20 June 2003 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a bit of band t-shirt problem for a while in that I kept accumulating them, but wearing only a small few of them in any semblance of regularity. I have about six Cop Shoot Cop shirts (like, say, this one.... http://thepolywog.com/copshootcop/disc_img/cop_pieceman.gif .....but suffice to say the current climate in NYC doesn't really warrant the championing of this particular ensemble. I have way too many Killing Joke shirts, as you might rightly imagine (and more were just offered from the band's old graphic taskmaster, Mike Coles....goto www.maliciousdamagae.co.uk via Explorer...it won't work on Netscape). I parted with a black Blues Explosion t-shirt (from a show at since-closed Tramp's from the Orange tour) just last month by way of Salvation Army, and Ally gave me stick about it.

Today, I'm sporting a simple grey t-shirt with no band affiliation whatsoever.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

possibly ,but not necessarily. A few of the rocker buddies have been successful in parlaying their endevours into the acquiring of rocker ladyfriends.

true, 'tis a fetish that most people I hang out with share, necessarily blinding us to the obvious downsides(e.g. heroin, them being completely arrogant and fucking annoying)...

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 20 June 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I was at that JSBX show, Alex.

― hstencil, Friday, 20 June 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Last night I wore a Primus T-shirt I got the first time I saw them back in 95. It's still one of my favorites; it's got 'skeeter' the little clay(pool)mation misquito on it. Rawk.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 20 June 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

The last time I wore a band t-shirt was Tuesday. It was a shirt for my friends' band A New Dawn Fades, which they gave to me for playing bass with them for one show. It is red, and has the Iron Maiden logo with an eyeball with wings and a tail but instead of saying Iron Maiden it says A New Dawn Fades.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 20 June 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Kate, I have a question - do you know who those people are in Camden market that sell band tees (that's all they sell!) in smaller sizes? It's like a little outdoor stall, not a permanent shop. They were playing the Wesley Willis Experience when I stopped by and bought my favorite Skinny Puppy tee! I am trying to remember b/c they gave me a mail order catalog which I promptly lost when moving, and I don't plan on being in London any time soon.. and now I want to get more shirts from them.

― daria g (daria g), Friday, 20 June 2003 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

It's funny, I have a glow-in-the-dark Spiritualized shirt, two fantastically awesome Spectrum shirts, even an Experimental Audio Research shirt - but no Spacemen 3 shirt.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Friday, 20 June 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't have that many surviving band t-shirts, but the last one I wore (last night actually) was for this album

This morning I was wearing a gray Sonic Youth shirt that said "small flowers crack concrete" on the front and "SONIC YOUTH" on the back.

But I changed when I spilled breakfast on it.

― Ian Johnson, Friday, 20 June 2003 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, the story: I got it when I saw them play on the NYCG&F tour in Providence with Stereolab and Quixotic. That was the first day I met my girlfriend! (I didn't see her again for about a year and a half, though.) It had to have been 95+ degrees in the club and it was pretty miserable to be packed in with a bunch of smelly, aging indie rockers.

― Ian Johnson, Friday, 20 June 2003 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Forgive me for sounding naive if it isn't the case, but are you all really wearing band t-shirts today? I knew a lot of people must have them, but I didn't know they got nearly as much wear as it seems they do. I haven't had the guts to wear band shirts since just a little after high school.

― Dan I., Saturday, 21 June 2003 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't had the guts to wear band shirts since just a little after high school.

Are you that self-conscious?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 21 June 2003 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Rolling Stones. The tie-dye job from the 'Voodoo Lounge' tour. Found it in a thrift store a few years ago for $3.00.

― John Bullabaugh (John Bullabaugh), Friday, 27 June 2003 04:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Today I'm wearing my Of Montreal t-shirt. Too bad the letters and the logo are too small to read them from more than two yards away.

― zilverberg.tk (zilverberg.tk), Friday, 27 June 2003 04:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I am currently wearing my Ride "Twisterella" T-shirt - I have a lovely selection of old t-shirts I wear in bed - Aztec Camera, Boo Radleys, Stone Roses etc, I never wear them out in public any more as I am an old fart :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 27 June 2003 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

My Temple of Bon Matin shirt that I got on their most recent tour; hand silkscreened with a red collar and black print on white shirt.

― Ian Johnson, Friday, 27 June 2003 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

im wearing a dirty three t-shirt, its a really nice t-shirt, it sorta looks like its got a seahorse on the front of it, i love it.

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Friday, 27 June 2003 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

When I Was A High School Indie Rocker: I bought and wore band tshirts all the time but now I spend all my money on dog food and my taste in music has gotten a lot better. So my girlfriend wears all my Pavement and Superchunk and Jawbox and etc shirts as bedtime sleepy things.

Band shirts I still wear regularly: Melt-Banana, Fear (the "More Beer" design), the Smiths (purely to spite my Morrissey-hatin' g/f), Mastodon and this shirt I got from the Salvation Army for some band called (as far as I can tell from the evil metal lettering) "Dugen Horde."

Band tshirts I would wear: Boredoms, Antaeus, Eyehategod if I lived somewhere besides New Orleans, any number of metal bands. They have the best shirts.

― adam (adam), Friday, 27 June 2003 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

The only Velvet Underground shirt I've ever found (well, there was one other, but I wasn't going to buy it because there was dominatrix attire on it), and I had to get it off the internet. I love it so.

t-shirt underneath shirt is the Sonic Youth Washing Machine one. The day before I wore the free promo PRMLSCRMXTRMNTR shirt at a show and everybody was like "there be no vowels there..." and I was like "it was free, dammit!" My fave free shirt is easily the AYWKUBTTOD one I got cuz people say I look gothy when I wear it. Rah!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 28 June 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Saturday, 5 March 2005 23:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Not wearing one now, but my faves are: White Stripes 'elephant', The Who Sell Out album cover, Beastie Boys 'Atwater Basketball', original old-school red Iron Maiden shirt, Probot, Spinal Tap 'Break Like The Wind', Soundgarden 'badmotorfinger' bought in 1991 & still fits (!)...oh and my Iron Maiden soccer jersey.

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 6 March 2005 00:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Considering that I'm wearing one, I figured I'd better fess up: Long-sleeved T-shirt that says "Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey" on front in huge letters and "www.jfjo.com" in smaller letters on the back.

― Mr Deeds (Mr Deeds), Sunday, 6 March 2005 01:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a Japanese Karaoke Afterlife Experiment tshirt on. It is orange and silkscreened on the back-side by DRAKE and on the front STENCILED to say JKAE. The back features a red creature riding a bike. The shirt is orange and the front design is on the breast pocket.

I am wearing a black T with AceyAlone, Love and Hate, and the Double A logo on the front. It was a freebie with a promotion for the album from hiphopsite.com (or maybe it was sandboxautomatic.)

When my tees get all worn out and holey, I turn them into rags for my painting projects.

Despite the fallout between Killing Joke and Malicious Damage, I'm must sheepishly confess to crossing that particular picket line and buyng both of the 25th Anniversary shirts last week. One a subdued green with faux-Soviet font and Zepplinesque runes on the back (Jaz = spider/Raven= raven/Geordie=lizard/Ben = bulldog). The other is a rather gaudy black, green and red design of gasmask-wearing jesters and -- inexplicably -- a speeding train. Not wildly original. Malicious Damage could've done a much better job (and almost did -- I saw the mock-ups). Still, y'know, god forbid the sell a t-shirt with the words "Kiling" and "Joke" on it that I'm not gullible enough to hand over cash for.

a light blue Blood Brothers T that I got a few years back. I hate being seen in public wearing this shirt.

I am wearing a White Mice t-shirt. It is white with a black pentagram in the center. The pentagram has been transformed into a mouse with the addition of eyes, whiskers and shaded ears (the top points.) It has massive wine stains on it from when my friend Joe elbowed me a few months ago at a party, sending my wine to meet my clothing.

A grey Killdozer long-sleeve with the hammer and sickle logo. I suspect it might be a bootleg but to be honest I can't remember, I know it originates from a Leicester gig with Truman's Water, cos I bought one of theirs too.

That Ludicra logo is classic!

I almost never wear band t-shirts but I do happen to be rocking a Mastodon shirt this fine day.

Wearing my Lost Sounds tshirt today.
Played a show with them on Saturday night.
The T-Shirt is an altered Devo image, a body sitting in a room full
of synths, but the head has been replaced with a big skull. It's nice and worn, too(probably 4 or 5 years old). I hate new t-shirts.

I was wearing a High on Fire shirt this morning and am now wearing a GBV shirt under my dressy office shirt.
