Detained

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #20: Breakfast Club MCA Home Video Year: 1985 Circulation: Rarer than a Hughes flick with bad music. A brain, athlete, basket case, princess and a criminal spend eight hours in detention for various scholastic crimes. Each are given the chore of writing a 1000 word essay explaining who they are. But instead they goof-off, antagonize each other, do drugs, make-out and then rely on the nerd to do their work for them. Lesson learned. Brand: Screen Stars Measurements: 17.5″ (pit-to-pit) 24.5″ (rear collar-bottom seam) Condition: Excellent vintage ... Read more

Never Say Never

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #19: James Bond Never Say Never Again Film Crew Year: 1983 Circulation: Rarer than a bad Connery Bond Flick. This is a rare film crew t-shirt for Connery’s last official stint as double-o.

This t-shirt is promo for Blue Lines, Massive Attack’s first release. It’s generally considered the first trip hop album ever and highly ranked on just about every greatest albums list. The track Unfinished Symphony really stands out on the album, it’s frequently described as one of the best songs of all time because it transcends genres. I have to agree and so better my buddies who I made listen to it on ... Read more

Deee-Funkd

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #17: Deee-Lite World Clique Tour Year: 1991 Circulation: Rarer than no dew drops in your garden. Deee-Lite (with 3 e’s people!) was an electronic pop trio fronted by Lady Miss Kier and backed by Super DJ Dmitri and Tōwa Tei. Their trippy image was inspired by 60s and 70s psychedelia with Lady Miss Kier commonly sporting vintage Emilio Pucci pieces. I saw Deee-Lite rock an outdoor rave just outside of Toronto in 1994. Legendary. The band parted ways in 1996 but each member currently has a successful ... Read more

Success Ain’t Nothing But Trouble

Defunkd’s exclusive collection of vintage t-shirts for sale at reasonably exorbitant prices. Item #16: DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince Year: 1989 Circulation: Rarer than a reunion with Ready Rock C. GANBT was this trios debut single. Trio you say? That’s right, the outfit originally consisted of Will Smith, Jazzy Jeff Townes and Clarence Holmes aka Ready Rock C aka the human beatbox. But Ready Rock was more than just a beatboxer he also co-wrote and co-produced GANBT (before Jazzy Jeff was even involved) the very song that put the group on the map. Ready Rock was ousted from ...
