POPTART T-Shirts

poptart_tees

Hello! We are very excited to announce the launch of the first series of Poptart tees!

In collaboration with Praise & The Corner Shop, these babies hit the shelves on Sat 17 June.

For this series, Praise & The Corner Shop lent their awesome design skills to pay tribute to some of our influences, and have visually ”remixed’ two iconic CD artwork- Sonic Youth’s Goo & Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures. They also contributed a third design that reflects the mood and joy we have experienced so often at the Poptart parties.

The T-shirts retail at $49, and a free limited tote bag will be given to those who buy three or more pieces.

In addition, we will do a DJ appearance at the store on 17 June, and on that date, the tees will be on 10% discount. So come say hi and do a little in-store dancing!

Schedule on 17 July:
6 – 8pm – The Corner Shop (Far East Plaza)
9 – 11pm – Praise (Orchard Cineleisure)

The Poptart tees will be on sale at the following outlets:

These are the names I d put on my tribute-cum-parody teeshirt to one of the world’s longest-surviving powerpop/alternative rock acts. Contrary to the name of the band, these guys are well into their 40s, and their sound has never deviated much from a mean. Honest lyrics of life and love , earnest Rickenbacker twangs for rifts and perfectly simplistic, hi-fi pop jems that appeal to a wide audience.

One of our favorite 1990’s pop bands, Teenage Fanclub, return to their roots with the release of their new album, Shadows. Teenage Fanclub broke through in Glasgow during the C86 (a collection of post punk music that was distributed underground on cassette tapes during the late 80’s and early 1990’s, mostly in the UK) craze, eventually transforming from a noisy and rough sound to a more cheerful, harmonic and melody lush pop, drawing comparisons with The Beach Boys, The Byrds, Neil Young and even Big Star.

If you look into any music nerd’s vinyl/cassette tape/CD (and now, mp3) collection, Teenage Fanclub will occupy a good amount of space; Shadows marks the 9th studio release from the band, this time under Merge Records (Arcade Fire, Camera Obscura, She & Him). And Since we re on the topic of the music nerd, here are some facts for you to chew on:

-Spin Magazine’s 1991 reader’s poll for best album of the year went to Teenage Fanclub’s album, Bandwagonesque (a must-have 90’s indie record), beating out Nirvana’s legendary Nevermind, which is still one of the top-selling albums in rock history.

-Bandwagonesque also beat My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless and REM’s worldwide smash LP, Out of Time.

-Teenage Fanclub were regularly name-checked by Kurt Cobain in interviews and described by him as “the best band in the world”

If these mean nothing to you, it’s time to do your music research dear friends. : )

some tracks to help you on your way:

Like a Virgin (madonna cover) (from The King)

Baby Lee (from Shadows)

myspace (listen to Sparky’s Dream please)
