Wayne and I have been busy with the new album art but we made time for t-shirts! We hope you like 'em.

Ok, so this is an interesting one. Every once and a while the Lips would play under assumed names in the Norman/Oklahoma City era. "The Heads" was the name for the Lips when they opened for Psychic TV. I'll have to look for the rider we made for the show it was pretty funny... we asked for a cake and underwear - didn't get either. The show was in Bricktown - I can't remember the name of the venue - was that where the Pyramid was? If anyone remembers let us know!

I hope everyone is enjoying the 4th of July! I thought I'd take a moment from the cookout to put up some more shirts. This one is from the Hit To Death Era of the Lips - early WB years. But I'm not sure which tour. I barely remember this one - it could have been what we took out on the Throwing Muses or Lush tours.

Hello,

I'm pretty sure this shirt was before the Lips signed to WB. It reminds me of the old Godzilla shirt (which I can't find!) that came out around the "Hear It Is" era. My guess is this shirt was made somewhere in between the "Priest" era and "Hit To Death In The Future Head."

Hello,

This is another fun shirt. It's from a one-off show in Noble, Oklahoma. This show was interesting because it was right after Jonathan quit the band and Jon Mooneyham was filling in on guitar. The band also had someone playing a cello onstage. It had to be one of the first shows that Steven played with the band.

It turned into just pure chaos - if I remember correctly - one of the opening bands, Glue, was performing and the drummer got busted in the mouth and lost a tooth. Blood everywhere... If anyone remembers this, please post something to confirm or deny.

The first band I ever saw Ronald Jones in, Snail, also performed. Not to mention our very own George Salisbury in his band Syringe!

If you like looking at the shirts, I'll keep posting.

Hello,

I was going through some stuff in my Lips storage unit and found a box of old T-shirts. I thought I'd take some pics of a few and throw them up here for people to check out.

This is one of the first shirts I ever bought by the Lips - I have an all black version that I think is an earlier print, but I liked the colors in this. I could be wrong, but I think George printed this.

Best,
Scott
