So my original plan when I saw this Danzig “How The Gods Kill” longsleeve from mikeh914. Just one problem. My brain had played a cruel trick on me. In under 24 hours, I had somehow forgotten that the CW longsleeve was NOT a How The Gods Chill tee. Rather, it was the EPMD/Mayhem mash up…
I had the good fortune to see Righteous Jams a LOT when they were playing. Every gig felt epic. You never knew what move Joey C was going to pull off next, or what cover might get thrown out there. Each set was memorable in its own way. Like that Cambridge Elks club gig where I almost got hit by a metal folding chair. Or that Raw Bar gig on Edge Day in 2005 (same day as the Astro / Cards game) where kids were stage diving off of pool tables. And the last time I saw them was literally down the street from my house. The Hudson Roller Rink. This show was a long one, a fest of sorts. It involved 6-7 bands and was a long one. But RJ was tight. It was also a strangely divided RJ set. When they played new songs, it was dead silent, no movement in the pit. When the played old songs, like Invasion, kids went bonkers. Like straight bat shit crazy. Then still for new songs. So weird. Great band. One of the best. One love to Joey C, DFJ, Cooch, CC, Scace and the whole crew that played in this band. Didn’t Greg Mental even play bass for a while??
Grab these tanks from flatxtop.
I dunno how many of you actually give a hoot about a Nine Inch Nails tee from 1991, let alone a NIN tee at all, but yknow… Pretty Hate Machine and Broken were pretty angry and heavy when I was 13 or 14 (may even still be, I haven’t heard those albums in years), plus urbngirl09 has a good history written up about how this one came into being, so this seems worthwhile…
my brother’s name is jerry long. he was the original merch guy for nine inch nails. worked with trent for the first 5 years. anyways. these shirts with the los angeles logo’s on the back were made for a gig at universal ampitheater, when nine inch nails and dinasaur jr. were the opening bands for a 4 night stand with janes addiction as the headliner. in april of 1991. these gigs sold out so fast, that it concieved the idea of lollapalooza. 3 months later the first lollapalooza started with janes and nin. my brother said he only made 2 gross which is 288 shirts. he said they sold out instantly at the stands and he never made them again. with any city on the back. so.. the only place you could have gotten this shirt was at those gigs at universal.
Check out this original Diehard shirt I found while poking around eBay today. I’m going to let seller egeniusarcastic do the talking.
“This shirt is older than most of the Integrity superfans looking at it. I was given this a long, long time ago by a good friend of mine from Cleveland named Tony Erba, who sang for some sort of ‘punk’ or ‘hardcore’ bands, when he’s not walleye fishing or making corn-whiskey.
Apparently, Dwid made 12 of these when he first sang for Diehard, before the demo was even recorded, in 1988. This is probably the only one left in existence. This is not a bootleg. There’s holes in the shirt, especially on the back, but you could still wear it and make your selfish, face-tattooed friends jealous. It’s over 23 yrs old, and it looks like it. The tag says xl, but it probably fits like a youth medium. Any questions about the authenticity, condition, etc. will br dutifully ignored. I’m kidding. Of course I’ll answer them, because I want your money.
I will ship to Europe, but I will also gouge the fuck out of you for shipping and handling. Figure 15$. Paypal only. “
