band shirts?

Post Reply New Topic

Since I have helped run a venue for 5 years, many of the bands that have played have traded their shirts for Super Happy Fun Land shirts...so I have wound up with a bunch of t-shirts for really obscure bands...many of which..I don't even remember what they sound like...these bands include the Mathematicians (most awesome band in the universe)

Plok (some band from Denmark)
the Ebb and Flow (another really great band)
the Snakebites
the Yarbles (because Flakey used to be in a band called the Yarbles)
i could go on and on...

The only mainstream band t-shirts I have....lets see....I have a White Stripes tee (i truely love them and got to see them right before they really took off..)..but the shirt was a souvenier from one of their bigger shows later on..a gift..I did not see the show..

A Flaming Lips Yoshime t-shirt....from a thrift store...too big....and another one that is too small now(i have seen the Flaming Lips upwards of 7 times...
Electric Frankenstein....I saw them a few years ago, but found the t-shirt at the thrift store several years later...a really nicely done shirt....a signed Dresden Dolls shirt....um....i wear it anyway.....a Rocky Erikson t-shirt....from when I recently saw him at a Crawfish Festival...way expensive.....

I love the art of the t-shirt....I design and screen my own....and have taught a few people how to make them....Done properly, they can help bands network and make money....

do you have some example pictures?
i have read quite a few tutorials about selfmade screenprinting but never came around trying it on my own. not yet, that is. also, i wasnt able to find out whether skinny shirts are good to print on, whether there is ink that works better on stretchy fabrics etcetera...

I just hate it when there's a band that I love and all their shirts are oog-lay. Then I see uber-awesome shirts for bands I hate. DX
