T-SHIRTS



We have no more t-shirts at the moment. All the shirts from the last gig were sold at the last gig - kind of the way it was meant to be.



We have plans to print a bunch more just for people who wanted a shirt from the gig but couldn't attend. Message us if you're interested and we'll keep you in the know.



Thanks for reading.
