The Art of the Band T-shirt

ONCE, T-shirts were just unadorned undergarments. But with the evolution of screen printing and the birth of band merchandising, T-shirts became so much cooler. Now every band with an ounce of savvy knows the importance of T-shirts not only as a lucrative sideline but also as a means of self-promotion and a way for fans to show their allegiance.

A gorgeous picture book that skips through the history of the shirts used to promote bands from the Beatles to Fugazi to Metallica. There were a lot more bands I thought could have been included but the information this book contained was a great insight into the history and stories behind shirts you see every day.

Ah, so cool pictures of old/new band t-shirts. Not a lot, but still pretty to browse. also brings up many trying questions, for example:

I found this to be a cute coffee table book. The unique trim size and stylishly cropped photography created an artsy texture to the book. It would make a great gift for someone who likes pop culture trends and/or music scenes--Personally I'm a fan of both so this was very nostalgic for me. ...more

A fun little book to flip through. The little bits of info are nice, too. Sometimes it woulda been nice if the book had been just a touch bigger so the t-shirt images would be bigger, so you could see the detail a bit more. But overall this is a fun little book to geek out on.
