I had to go all Kriss Kross and wear my shirt backwards yesterday to get the band lineup from the 2016 SoCal Hoedown, a Rockabilly festival in Santa Ana.  The front just has a small logo over the left chest area.

 
:lmao: at my middle-aged rock band t-shirt wearing self. This could go for five weeks and I'd still have new shirts.

Two commishes and a clown up in this thread. Love it. 

 
Uh, some. The reason I have so many is that generally, given my past and present, when I have disposable income it's a problem. Two things solve that given my situation: records and clothes. I could sock it away for a rainy day but I just don't, unfortunately. I've had a unique life and continue to.

I just got this record in the mail today. I brought up purchasing from small businesses in the COVID thread and was told the system was stressed so I've stopped ordering frivolities, but this was ordered before the lockdowns. Here is record and shirt, purchased at wildly different times. It was my supplemental album in the 5-10 draft, from age nineteen.

We had tickets for the now Shelleyless Buzzcocks but the tour got cancelled.  Wishing good health to Steve Diggle, one of the heroic rock 'n roll lifers.

Seconded. Was sad to hear of Shelley's passing when it happened. He had worked on some reissues of their material, namely Love Bites and Another Music In A Different Kitchen and I was sad to see someone who had just gotten done with those projects pass so quickly afterward and without the ability to at least bask in their glow. That Singles Going Steady was re-released in a loving way, a half-speed remaster from analog originals, is a wonderful thing, though it certainly suffers from promotion and availability. It's on Domino records, who I find do all sorts of good vinyl re-releases, albeit for a pretty penny.

Thanks. It's a Supreme shirt. I have a skateboard deck with that picture on the bottom of the deck (I know, I don't skate, really). If you're familiar with Supreme, the NYC clothing line, it was way too expensive in sealed resale.

X doubleheader today.

This one is one of my oldest surviving band shirts from the 1990 mini-tour when Billy rejoined.  It's got a hole in the back though so I didn't want to wear it all day.

That one is from Mrs. Eephus' drawer.  It has the lyrics to "The Once Over Twice" and uses the old bus to nowhere design from the Sex Pistols' "Pretty Vacant" 45.

Love both of those, especially the one from the drawer. The color one is something else, too.

In the UK, Friday is t-shirt day as promoted by BBC Radio where listeners are encouraged to wear their favorite band shirts to work.  We're not that civilized yet so I'll do a thread instead.

I have too many band shirts and Mrs. Eephus has a lot more than I do.  Merch sales are vitally important to touring musicians nowadays so for me, it's become as much about supporting the artist as it is about flying the flag.

The first one I ever bought was this Pink Floyd shirt at the first concert I went to as a teenager.  At $500 for a vintage one, I'll pass on the nostalgia.   My most recent one is for Strand of Oaks because I liked the ravens on it.  I don't know if I have a favorite but when I went to a band shirt themed party last year, I wore one like this to rep obscure LA powerpop band Tsar.

I do enjoy going to shows. I agree with buying a t shirt to help the band financially if it is what I consider an up and coming group struggling to make it. 

However when I go to an established band/singer whatever and they are charging $60.00 for a t shirt my opinion changes quickly. It is rare I buy a t shirt from these folks.

The bands struggling I have been known to buy several t shirts from.

I see these prices on vintage t shirts and I want to punch myself in the face. When I was a young man I bought them all but they are all gone now.

 
Antone's - Austin's Home of the Blues

Shirt has the iconic photo of Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters in front of a chain link fence.  It's an oldie--we went to Antone's when it was still out on Guadalupe.  My sister lived in Austin at the time.  I remember it was 1989 because everybody wanted to ask about the earthquake when they found out we were from SF.

 
I have decided to give all my concert t shirts to my mother in law so she can turn them into a blanket.
