Wear Your Favorite Artist On Your Wrist
It happens. Guitar strings break. Often. Which is why bands should always bring an extra guitar on the road, or at the very least have some interesting banter prepared, in case they need to re-string their instrument in the middle of a show. Not that I have ever witnessed this before or anything…
Anyway, Wear Your [...]
Can You Help Fuel Dan Deacon's Tour?
Dan Deacon needs help getting to his shows. Turns out finding fuel for his school-bus-turned-tour-van, pimped out to run on vegetable oil, can be a bit of a challenge.

The best thing to do – for our wallets as well as the environment [...]

This 6.75″ square frame, made from recycled LPs, has a 5″ x 5″ opening. It’s the perfect size for ticket stubs, [...]
Guilt-Free Guitar Straps
Leather. It’s practically synonymous with rock ‘n roll. Unfortunately, it’s not so great for the environment (the leather industry uses lots of energy and chemicals), not to mention the cows and other animals that constitute the raw materials for our shoes, bags, and yes, even our guitar straps.
