(The Cool Kids All Wear) Band T-Shirts

You played for Wayne County And Poppees?  :o Damn! @Jett129 !

[Jett129]

You familiar with either of those? Sorrows was after Wayne went to the UK and The Poppees broke up.

[Oroccoco]

@Jett129 'Cream in my Jeans' has gotta be made the official forum anthem, surely!

I listened to Sorrows Good Times Bad Times on Spotify at work today - love that powerpop sound. Do you think we could get an IH take on the skinny tie?

[Jett129]

Wayne/Jayne wrote that song for Iggy Pop. It’s based off of a Gospel song called I’m Waiting on You Jesus. I think the skinny tie ship has sailed.

This is the rarest shirt that I have. There's only 1 in existence and was given to me by the drummer of the band!

He expressed dismay in sending it to me after he did. But it is one of my treasures.

[Max Power]

Do vests also count? IH of course

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Holy shit @Max Power there's like 2 million dollars worth of vintage patches on that. And the evo on that vest is crazy

[Max Power]

Cheers @Filthy 

Still working on my crust / punk / black metal vest on black denim.

Might as well put the epic/ doom project in here as well.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I like the Scald patches on there 

[Max Power]

Good eye @Filthy

@Max:

Nice, Atlantean Kodex and While Heaven Wept in particular! Any love for Solitude Aeturnus?

[Max Power]

@Tago Mago For sure! Some of the classics are missing, have spare Saint Vitus and Candlemass, also Trouble, Count Raven and Solitude Aeturnus are missing. But I didn't want to lose the functionality of the front pockets.

The Stooges are one of my all time favorite bands,saw the  original line up in 1969,70 and 71.Saw them at a Small club called Unganos and at The legendary Electric Circus. Saw them open for the MC5 3 times and was a member of the Fan Club…Stoogelings Courageously. Before the band officially took the name Ron Ashton called up Moe Howard of the Three Stooges and asked him if it would be OK,to which he replied call it whatever you want as long as it’s not the fucking Three Stooges. Great shirt by the way.

Great story and great show in 07.  Mike Watt played bass.  Top 5 show for me.  Along with this one…

[Matt]

Sadly I’ve lost more concert tees than I have over the years.  Some highlights from my collection of ones that got away include Nirvana in ‘93, Cure in ‘92, Tibetan Freedom Festival in ‘98.  Back when I bought XL tees for my 5’9, 150 lb teenage frame.

I had a cool Ministry shirt from their tour with Helmet and Sepultura in ‘92.

[popvulture]

The Fun House record cover is one of the coolest pieces of album art ever, in my humble opinion. Not to mention their best record

@Jett129 That’s so amazing you got to see em back in the day! I saw them in probably 2005 at Little Steven’s Underground Garage Fest in NY - Ron and Scott were both still alive then, Mike Watt on bass. They destroyed. It’s a day I’ve wished I could return to many a time.

This doesn’t count the two times he cancelled on me and the 1997 show I don’t have a shirt for.  I also have this one which was sold by The Salford Lads Club in Manchester.  The photo is from the photographer who shot the album cover photos for The Queen Is Dead and proceeds went to the club…
