Okay the site needs a little work I admit it, but Rock Band T-Shirts do something quite rare considering how mechanised and automated the world is these days, they airbrush and hand paint every one of their √ºber psychedelic tees, and if you’re one for trippy prints, then www.rock-band-t-shirts.com should definitely be on your journey of self teescovery

Yes, yes, there are some problems with the site design, the navigation bar is floating and some of the title tags are showing up html codes like <br> but ignore it if you can, the dudes behind this label have their sights set on greater things and I’m sure they’ll get a nerd in to spruce it all up in the end, The reason I’m not laying into RBT ’s site design (as I normally would) is because they’re obviously first and foremostly artists, t-shirt artists, creative types who just want to do what they do which is simply this:-

Immortalise guitar and rock heroes in the medium of the t-shirt.

You can’t ask fairer than that can you? They take the trouble where it counts, offering the best of the best in rock legend T-shirts from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s & 90’s. inspired by rock music heroes like John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin & Reggae legend Bob Marley. If you’ve had it up to here (imagine my hand above my head) with rock legends (can’t understand why though) there are other categories to choose from – Biker Tees and Science Fiction / Fantasy Tees, so you can still get your mad and trippy coloured mayhem no matter what you’re tastes. RBT obviously are a lot more level-headed than may appear on first impression, for example they are meticulous in their production process. Always conscious to maintain uniform colour balance and pattern consistency whilst still ensuring that each tie dyed tee is totally unique. A tricky balance some may say.

Right – enough of the banter – let’s take a trip to the tie dyed land of Rock Band T-Shirts…

Haight Ashbury Tee

The Haight Ashbury Street Sign tee evokes all those feelings that any self-respecting hippie summons up at the mere mention of this iconic Californian district synonymous for its role as a centre for the explosion of the 1960s Flower Power movement across America and the world at the time. An original counter-culture community following hot on the heels of the Beat Generation or ‘Beatniks’, they grew their hair, wore flares, believed in peace and free love. If you weren’t there you were square, if you were, well you’re pretty old by now, but we won’t hold that against you, at least you helped to bring on one of the most exciting times in popular cultural history the world will ever know. If you’re not currently eight miles high and can focus on your credit card details you can get this stunning slice of memorabilia for $20 in a wide variety of stunning colours, sizes small to 3XL.

Haze Tee

If it wasn’t for cultural snobbery Jimi Hendrix would already have been placed way up there with the likes of Mozart and Beethoven and most likely will one day when the old farts who can’t recognise genius if it slapped them in the face finally nod off at the back of a concert hall for the last time. If you or a mate of yours thinks they are a Guitar Hero, then just listen to anything Hendrix ever put down on vinyl to learn a severe lesson in humility. The man rocked like no one before or since. This tripped out tribute to the only true god of guitar rock is a perfect way of telling the world just how much you appreciated what he did in his short and rather turbulent life. Britain and especially London still has an enormous soft spot for this music legend, he played a whole ream of cheap and lousy gigs here ending with a nightmare finale at The Isle Of Wight Festival where the hippie movement officially ended with a particularly brutal riot. I once saw a documentary on Jimi, he was invited to live in Hawaii with a colony of rich hippies who lived and worked permanently off their faces, buzzed to the gills on LSD, he didn’t, instead he gasped his last few breaths in a basement flat in London. Jimi – a master of the universe of sound – may he rest in peace. Get the amazing Haze tee in tie dye and crystallised colours for $20 in sizes small to 3XL.

Butterfly Lady Tee

The Butterfly Lady tee takes inspiration from an old favourite of illustrators in the heady days of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and RBT has done the concept a great justice, this should be a rather twee endeavour but all in all it’s a rather fetching nay dashing design, sumptuous lines and colours and a strong composition come together to create a powerful effect. If only I could have met girls as half attractive as this one in my younger days at squat parties and the likes. Of course the wings would’ve have got in the way if we’d got any further than first base. This psylocibic goddess is all yours for just $20 in blue, purple and red tie dye – sizes small to 3XL. In case you don’t like the style all of RBT’s tees come in a wide range of styles including crew neck, tank and spaghetti tops – so that’s just about everyone sorted

Wild Weed Women Tee

Nowadays cute stoner babes are all over the shop, but back in the day for many young and feverish hippies, finding a cute girl who liked to toke was like winning the lottery. I myself found one way back when, of course we’re both grown out of it now but let me just say if you are stoned and manage to make love with someone gorgeous that you actually have deep feelings for it’s a mind blowing experience. Of course all this sounds like real old hat now, I’m sure the latest generation attend a smart drug sex gym where body popping and Tantric sexual gymnastics go hand in hand, but for me nothing can beat a fumble on sacred ground as the summer solstice sun rises up over a megalith or two. Still that’s enough of my nostalgia, if you fancy grabbing hold of a wild weed woman, or proclaiming yourself as one to those who tickle your own fancy then get this fabulously groovy t-shirt for $20 in small to 3XL sizes.
