Mars Volta 'Tarantism' Jazz T-Shirt Alright guys, look here... this is really hard to write about... Mars Volta is so many things, it's almost impossible to know where to begin. So let's just say that the word and ideology behind Tarantism, is the most coherant thing we can grasp onto when it comes to this amazing progressive rock band... that's straight from the heart, the highest compliment. You might be questioning that statement, so let me explain... in my eyes, prog rock is about vast musical experimentation and 'progress', which by nature, tends to lead into a somewhat psychedelic listening experience. To me, the mix of skilled instrumentation and inevitable psyk-outs, make progrock a fascinating genre of music... when done right... when done wrong, it can quickly become so pathetic it spills out of your speakers into your head, inspiring deep self-loathing of the human race. Mars Volta has not only avoided creating irrevocable hatred towards Mankind... they've managed to create

Jimi Hendrix 'Band of Gypsys' 1970 Rock T-Shirt The Band of Gypsys era was pretty much the pinnacle of Jimi Hendrix 70's guitar work... that's not to say it's all the best songs, but it's definitely got the most memorable character out of all his albums! Superhard, long psykjams with a huge funk backdrop... three bruthas, naturally rockin' harder than most white bands who were actually trying to be hard! Personally, we have these Band of Gypsys shirts because Jimi Hendrix plays our favorite style of music. Heavy guitar with lots of instrumentation, real warm and groovy and not shy about making it sound trippy! That combination of elements, along with Jimi's incredible guitar skills on a reverse left-handed Fender Strat... nah man, it's an impossible combination of good things... yet, it DID happen. So if you haven't heard the Jimi Hendrix / Band of Gypsys album... go out right now and get it, listen, then come back and thank us for selling this rock shirt. Not to pull our own chain, bu

The Black Angels 'Cobra Snake' Stoner Rock T-Shirt We can all thank Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators, as well as The Velvet Underground, for this stoner psyk pop band... and for that matter, we can thank the long psychedelic rock history of Austin/Texas for the unimaginably groovy tunes of The Black Angels! With two insanely cool and laid-back albums ('Passover' and 'Directions to See a Ghost')... the Black Angels have become one of the undisputed leaders in the neo-psych movement... and growing... the first album was a great groovy fuzzfest... while the second explored the more adventurous side of feedback and psych-out, but still keeping the super groove they're known for. I always enjoyed the Angels albums, but it's their live show that really drove it home... these guys sound identical in person, the tone is perfect, the loudness is just right... and the psych-out, OMG, the psyche-out was the best... so simple, they just hung a big white bedsheet to the back of the stage,

Eagles 'Life in The Fast Lane' Blues Rock T-Shirt The Eagles are one of the finest California Country rock bands ever to surf the beaches of Malibu... we all know their ultra-spooky hit 'Hotel California'... but most people don't know their other amazing songs... and that's why we got this classic 'Life in The Fast Lane' rock shirt... bringing a wee-bit of obscurity to the masses. Yeah sure, this song was a radio hit... the thing is, if you ask anyone who sang it... you get nothing! Take it a step further and ask them what the song is actually about... then you reeeeally get no response... maybe some general guesses like... 'it's about driving fast... or drinking too much'. Hardly tho... it's about Cocaine. Yeah, I said it... this is basically a Cocaine t-shirt. And no, it wasn't crafted by the Colombian drug lords art department (although I hear they do good work!)... it's directly inspired by Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh as The Eagles. This Eagles t-shirt embodies not only th
